Hello,

&nbsp;

I am exploring RasPlex for the last 24 hours. One of the things that struck me is the (false) link between interface language and location. I live in France and I want my interface to be in English.

&nbsp;

However, if I choose English as a language all localization choices are limited to English-speaking countries (and strangely enough Central Europe). Is there no way to separate these concepts ?

&nbsp;

I also have no choice as to keyboard. The pop-in of keyboard layouts is sadly empty.

&nbsp;

Voilà !

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I’ve already noticed this problem too… This is a limitation of the current OpenELEC install wizard.  
  
  
Try the following:   
  
Use the initial wizard to choose you keyboard layout and change the interface language afterwards via the preferences. (Keyboard-layout can’t be changed currently)

Hi,

Once I change the Interface language all other regional values are reset (and restricted). For example, if I want to see the region to France (to get correct time), I must put the interface language in French.

I understand that this is an OpenELEC issue. Should I post this elsewhere ? &nbsp;Thanks again,

No - please try to change this via the PlexHT preferences (NOT RasPlex settings) (should be at appearance or system).

hello again,

i have been attempting this via appearance menu. when language is english only english-speaking countries (and central europe) are proposed in other regional parameters. to set these parameters to france, language must be french.

is this then a plex ht issue ?
