Opening FileWave Central / Anywhere in a Specific Language (Windows)

What

When you install FileWave Admin, it will automatically use the language you have set on your workstation (if not available, it will default to English). If you want to change FileWave to run in another language, you have to launch Central/Admin with an argument that specifies the desired language.

When/Why

Sometimes even though your computer is running in a language like German you may wish to run Central in English.

How

Windows (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. 

Windows (FW 15.4.2 and lower)

If you want to open the FileWave Central/Admin Application in a different Language, you would use the following command to launch. In this article, we’re going to automate the process so it opens with your preferred language every time using a Desktop Shortcut.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\FileWave\FileWaveAdmin.exe" --lang en_US

Windows (FW v15.5.0 or higher until 16.2.0)

"C:\Program Files\FileWave\admin\FileWaveAdmin.exe" --lang en_US
