Change Language Settings for Spacepilot

[adhender]

I have installed the spacepilot driver using the english language setting, but the driver and config panel only runs in German. I using the Swiss German language setting in the windows control panel, which is why i?m guessing the spacepilot is running in german.

My question is, how do I switch the spaceball driver / config panel to English?

If you do not want to change your locale to "English", you can will need to overrides the language detection by setting a variable on the Windows Registry.

Important: a mistake when editing the Windows Registry may render your system usable. Only follow the procedure below if you are confident that you understand the instructions. Always make a backup of the Registry before editing.

Using the Registry Editor (regedit), go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3Dconnexion\3DxWare and create new value (string) named "CurrentLocale" (without the quotes) and set it to "1033" (without the quotes). Restart the driver and the panel should now be shown always in English.

Hi syhdesign,

this is an old post and the information was valid for our legacy driver 3DxSoftware. Now - with 3DxWare 10 - the information for the language is in your Global.xml file.

• Go to your AppData folder and navigate to 3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg.
• Open the file Global.xml.
• Add the following:

  Code: Select all

  <Global Default="false" xmlns="">
        <Settings>
              <Culture>de-DE</Culture>
        </Settings>
  </Global>

  The Cultures we currently ship are:
  • en-US
  • de-DE
  • fr-FR
  • ja-JP
  • zh-CN

Hi Uta,

thnx for the hint but it didn't work in my case.

I use an English Catia on a German Windows7. I installed the driver also in English Language, but the Shortcuts for Catia are German and so don't work in my English Catia.

How can I change this? Nothing works. I'd really like to use the Radial Menu.
