user interface language

I have problems changing the language of the Zotero Standalone user interface. Even though I have set everything on my computer to English, the user interface is in Japanese (I bought my computer in Japan with a Japanese Windows system but I have changed the user interface of Windows to English). Firefox and Chrome etc. are all set to English, too

Try the instructions for Zotero Standalone here:

Thanks, I saw that. But I am not sure I understand this instruction:
open Preferences→Advanced→Open about:config),

Where is the menu preferences? In Zotero Standalone? My interface is in Japanese and maybe that's why I have a hard time finding it?
But "about:config" looks like a firefox command. In firefox I have already met the settings as needed, but Zotero doesn't change. Interestingly, when I log into my zotero account online, the interface is also in English. Even after removing and reinstallign Zotero Standalone the interface remains in Japanese....

Maybe this will help to find the prefences:
https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences

Because about:config is typically accessed via the Firefox url bar (which obviously isn't available for Standalone), there is a button that opens about:config in the advanced tab of the Zotero preferences.

Thanks, this helped. I didn't find the menu in my Japanese interface at first, but looking at the screenshots helped.
