How to change display language in eclipse

Question

I uploaded a copy to http://mergedoc.sourceforge.jp/ eclipse 3.7, but this IDE is Japanese, I want to change it to English, can anyone help me?

Answer 1

add the argument -Duser.language=en jvm after the -vmargs parameter in the eclipse.ini file

Answer 2

This question is pretty old, but I just want to share what worked for me.

I assume that you are using Pleiades based on your eclipse.ini file.

I found this:

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/shiraji/20130427/1367054426

It basically says:

• Comment on the following line from eclipse.ini:

   #-javaagent:dropins/MergeDoc/eclipse/plugins/jp.sourceforge.mergedoc.pleiades/pleiades.jar 

• Delete the following:

   plugins/jp.sourceforge.mergedoc.jstyle_4.2.2.1 configuration/jp.sourceforge.mergedoc 

  (In my case, the second folder is jp.sourceforge.mergedoc.pleiades ).

• Restart eclipse

You should now see a regular Eclipse splash screen, and the menu is now set to English.

Answer 3

In the eclipse.ini file, you can specify the following parameter before : -vmargs:

 -nl en 

Answer 4

In my case, it only worked when I changed it like this:

-vmargs -nl en
