Automatic Language of Zotero Mac

JGebauer · February 12, 2019

I just noticed that Zotero now loads in English instead of my computers German. The setting in the preferences was still on automatic.

I have now set Zotero to German manually, which works fine. Setting it back to automatic will change back to English. My Mac's primary language is German.

I recently updated to Mojave, may this have something to do with it?

Could you say what your exact system settings are? Zotero should use the first language listed under "Preferred languages:" in the Language & Region pane of System Preferences.

The system is set to German as first preferred language. English is the second choice.
Again, this didn't happen in Sierra, before I updated to Mojave.
It is obviously not a big problem, since setting the language manually works well, but it shouldn't happen.

I can confirm that the same happened to me as well after upgrading to Mojave from High Sierra. Not a big issue but it came as a big surprise, for the first time I used Zotero after the upgrade was in a workshop I held on Zotero :)

I think this actually changed in 10.14.2 or 10.14.3. I'm pretty sure this was working for me in 10.14.1 before upgrading. We'll investigate.
