 ====== Language Support ======
-Zotero's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode|Unicode]] support allows you to import, store, and cite items in any language. You can change the language of Zotero, and of the citations and bibliographies created by Zotero. Finally, there is an experimental multilingual version of Zotero, which supports storage of item metadata in more than one language (transliterations and translations).
+Zotero's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode|Unicode]] support allows you to import, store, and cite items in any language. You can change the language of both the Zotero user interface and the citations and bibliographies created by Zotero. Finally, there is an unofficial multilingual version of Zotero, which supports storage of item metadata in more than one language (transliterations and translations).
 ===== Switching Languages =====
-==== Zotero for Firefox ====
+==== Zotero ====
-By default, the user interface (UI) of Zotero (the labels of menu items, tabs, etc.) is displayed in the same language as Firefox. For example, if you download and install the French version of Firefox, your Zotero UI will automatically appear in French. If translations for a language are not available, Zotero's UI will default to US English.
+In Zotero, the interface language defaults to matching the operating system's language. To use a different language, go to the Edit menu (Windows/Linux) or Zotero menu (Mac) and select Preferences, click on the Advanced tab, and make your selection from the Language drop-down.
-To change the language of the Zotero UI, you can either use the Quick Locale Switcher Firefox add-on (see below), or follow these instructions:
-  * Type ''about:config'' into the Firefox address bar and press Enter. Dismiss the "This might void your warranty!" warning. In Zotero Standalone you can access about:config from the Advanced pane of the preferences.
-  * Type "useragent" in the Filter text box. Now double-click the ''general.useragent.locale'' preference (or right-click the preference and select Modify), and enter the desired language tag (e.g. "en-US" for US English). See the  [[https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/branches/2.1/chrome.manifest|chrome manifest]] for all available codes.
-  * Type "matchOS" in the Filter text box. If the ''intl.locale.matchOS'' preference is set to true, double-click to change it to ''false''. Otherwise, Firefox will use your operating system's language instead of the value you just set.
-  * Restart Firefox.
-Changing the value of general.useragent.locale also affects the Firefox UI, Firefox add-ons, and websites that adapt their content based on the Firefox locale.
-=== Quick Locale Switcher ===
-The [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quick-locale-switcher/|Quick Locale Switcher]] Firefox add-on makes it easier to change the value of general.useragent.locale. After installation of the add-on (and restarting Firefox), go to the Quick Locale Switcher Options window, and check the "User Interface Language (general.useragent.locale preference)" checkbox. You can now use the popup menu of the Quick Locale Switcher to switch the Firefox locale (although you still have to restart Firefox after changing the locale). If it has no effect, you may need to change the ''intl.locale.matchOS'' preference (see above).
-==== Zotero Standalone ====
-In Zotero Standalone, the interface language defaults to matching the operating system's language. To override this and use English instead of the operating system's language, open Preferences->Advanced->Open about:config), and set ''intl.locale.matchOS'' to false.
 ==== Citations and Bibliographies ====
-To keep your Zotero UI in one language, but use another language for the citations and bibliographies created by Zotero, follow these steps:
+To keep your Zotero UI in one language, but use another language for the citations and bibliographies created by Zotero, simply select the citation language you'd like to use from the appropriate location:
-  * Type ''about:config'' into the Firefox address bar and press Enter. Dismiss the "This might void your warranty!" warning. In Zotero Standalone you can access ''about:config'' from the Advanced pane of the preferences.
+  * The "Create Bibliography from Selected Item(s)" dialog
-  * Type "biblio" in the Filter text box. Now double-click the ''extensions.zotero.export.bibliographyLocale'' preference (or right-click the preference and select Modify), and enter the desired language tag (e.g. "en-US" for US English). See the  [[https://www.zotero.org/svn/extension/branches/2.1/chrome.manifest|chrome manifest]] for all available codes.
+  * The word processor integration plugin's document preferences window
-  * Restart Firefox.
+  * The Quick Copy section in the Export pane of the Zotero preferences
