What
FileWave Admin will automatically use the language, if supported, set on the workstation at installation (default English). It is however possible to run FileWave Admin in a different language, as shown below.
When/Why
Sometimes even though your computer is running in a language like German you may wish to run Central in English.
How
macOS (FW 16.2.0 and higher)
You can now pick a language other than the system on in both Central and Anywhere as shown below in the images. Although the image of Central is from macOS, it looks the same on Windows.
