    I have installed UE Italian version and all menus displayed rightly in Italian.

    However, after I uninstalled UE and reinstalled it again, this time in English, the menus on top are still displayed in Italian. How can I change them to show permanently in English?

      Delete the 3 files

      Uedit32.mnu
      Uedit32.pmu
      Uedit32.tbr

      in the directory where UltraEdit has its INI file uedit32.ini and then start UltraEdit. For new installations the INI file should be in your personal application data directory, which is by default a hidden directory (turn on displaying hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer). For an English Windows XP it is by default (but not on my computer)

      C:\Document and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Application Data\IDMComp\UltraEdit\

      or language, OS version and user account independent referenced

      %APPDATA%\IDMComp\UltraEdit\

      Also look into the Advanced.* and Basic.*configuration files in the same directory, if they are with English texts. If not, close UltraEdit and delete them also and start UltraEdit again to let UltraEdit create them in English.

      Since UE v14 with it's multi-environment feature it is necessary to delete much more files to change the language. The files are again in the directory of the currently used INI - default path see above. The files to delete while UltraEdit is not running are: *.mb1 (menus) and *.pb1 (popup menus), maybe also *.te1 which contains language specific predefined templates. *.in1 contains environment specific INI settings which are not language dependent, *.tb1 contains the toolbars for an environment which are also not language dependent. But delete also *.in1, *.tb1 and *.te1 for an environment with a language specific file name. Per default following files are created by English UltraEdit v14 and later:

      Advanced.mb1
      Advanced.pb1
      Advanced.tb1
      Notepad Replacement.in1
      Notepad Replacement.mb1
      Notepad Replacement.pb1
      Notepad Replacement.tb1
      Notepad Replacement.te1
      Power User.in1
      Power User.mb1
      Power User.pb1
      Power User.tb1
      Power User.te1
      Programmer.in1
      Programmer.mb1
      Programmer.pb1
      Programmer.tb1
      Programmer.te1
      System Administrator.in1
      System Administrator.mb1
      System Administrator.pb1
      System Administrator.tb1
      System Administrator.te1
      Technical Writer.in1
      Technical Writer.mb1
      Technical Writer.pb1
      Technical Writer.tb1
      Technical Writer.te1
      Web Developer.in1
      Web Developer.mb1
      Web Developer.pb1
      Web Developer.tb1
      Web Developer.te1

      If there are "uedit32.??0" files like "uedit32.tb0" (exactly "INI name.??0") you maybe need to delete these files too. Such files are present if you have a customized menu or toolbar saved with a different name to avoid changes on update as I have done for my preferred toolbar, but you have switched in the past at least once between existing default menus/toolbars and your customized menus/toolbars.

      By the way: If you want to change the menu language without deletion of the profile files, just click with right mouse button into a free area of the menu and choose a different menu. Same can be done for toolbars.

      The management (deletion/creation) of the menus and toolbars can be done also from within UltraEdit. Click with right mouse button into a free area of the menu or toolbar and choose Manage Menu/Toolbar Configurations or open Advanced - Configuration - Toolbars / Menus - Management and use the buttons Manage ... in this dialog. Complete environments can be managed (deleted/created/selected) at View - Environments.

        Thanks a lot, it worked.
        The files were in C:\Windows

        Note by Mofi: The windows directory was the default for UltraEdit installations pre v10.20 and is still the default for installations on Windows 98 (where normally no environment variable APPDATA exists). UltraEdit continues using existing configurations as much as possible after updates to later versions and therefore continues to use the files in the Windows directory.

          I am afraid it does not work in my case. First time I erased here mentioned files, it did not work. Then I erased the whole UltraEdit directory. Files with menu are recreated, but in German.

            First check if you have deleted the correct files. The user application data directory is user specific. If you install UE with an admin account and then use it with a restricted account (different login name), you have everything twice. Use the admin account to delete all 9 files for ALL users.

            If this does not help, it looks like also your UltraEdit installation is mixed because the file ueres.dll in the UltraEdit program directory is still the German version and not the English version. Delete the three uedit.*, the three Advanced.* and the three Basic.* files again (for all users) and then run uesetup.exe again with repair installation to fix the problem with the wrong resource DLL.

              The problem was with the remaining DLL. Thank you.
