Changing Fotostation's program language

13. January 2026

Table of Contents

Note Which languages are available?

Where: Go to File (Fotostation on a Mac) > Preferences > Language.

Fotostation is available in several languages. When starting the program for the first time, you can choose the program language. However, if you change your mind later, it is easy to switch to another language. When Fotostation is configured to use a separate configuration for each user on the computer, each user can select their preferred language.

To change the language of program menus and dialogs, templates, and all program-related files, go to File (Fotostation on a Mac) > Language. Choose your new preferred language and select OK.

Fotostation may have to restart after changing the program language.

Note

Display templates, metadata QuickLIsts, linked lists and thesauruses, print templates, and web export templates are language-specific. Therefore, if you have customized any of these, you will need to copy them to the new language folder after you change languages (otherwise they will seem to have disappeared.)
