No languages except English

Hi.
I just downloaded the latest release for windows from github releases page.
Version: v2.2.1.3-2-g1598766fb
Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++
Compiled on: Jan 11 2026
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Boost Version: 1.87.0
System: Windows 10 Version 2009

But there are no languages in settings except english:


Tryed on two PC's with windows 10 and 11.
How to fix it?

Hm.. I think something mya be wrong with paths settings.

Please check Paths tab - there should be an input that allows you to specify a path to the folder with translations.

Translations are stored in ".qm" files, usually they are in "/translations" sub-folder of LibreCAD installation folder.  So if everything fine - there should be several .qm files.

Try to change the path to translation and restart LibreCAD

I've changed the path, it was empty.

Now languages appeared, but changing the laguages not working, everything still in English (after restart):

if I'm correct, restart is required after language change. Will it help?

Please also note that for some languages translations may be missed. If you're looking for russian, probably it is worth also check 2.2.2-alpha (https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.2_alpha-latest)  - transalation there might be more relevant

Yes, screenshot is after restart.
Tryed German for test, same picture, only "cancel" button translated.
Or what popular language should I try to figure out that interface is translating correctly?

Hallo smk,
hast du es geschafft, die Sprache zu ändern?
Ich habe das gleiche Problem und keinen Plan wie das zu lösen ist!

Try the latest 2.2.1 release candidate build. Please let me know if it’s not fixed yet.

We are releasing 2.2.1.4 in the coming days, including the language fixes

Sorry, the current language support in 2.2.1.4 is messed up.

I'm working on to get the support back to a minimum level. Please try the latest master branch to get a preview of updated translations.

The 2.2.1 branch is work-in-progress in my own fork: https://github.com/dxli/LibreCAD/tree/2.2.1

In der alpha-Version 2.2.2 sind viele deutsche Wörter. Sie sind aber oft dort, wo sie nicht hingehören.
Ich warte lieber auf die beta-Version.

The alpha version 2.2.2 contains a lot of German words. However, they often appear in places where they don't belong.
I think I'll wait for the beta version.

Through this post, I confirmed that changing the GUI language to something other than English is possible in version 2.2.2 Alpha (What is this?).
Setting aside the inaccuracies in the Korean translation, I was bewildered because the GUI looks so different from the latest release version.
The dark background of the toolbar makes the icons hard to see… I wonder whether it is even feasible to follow the manual and study on my own using this alpha version.
