Did you check if pidgin is not already running (in English) and that command just made it show its window, instead of starting it (in German).

I assume you're on Windows because this has been reported by a few other users of 2.6.2.

Pidgin in english
Hello, I have been using pidgin for a year now. Till yesterday always in english. Yesterday I downloaded the new client and installed it. Now I have to use it in German! Is there a possibility to get pidgin in english (I didn't find any link where I could get it in english, it always downloaded the german version)? It's not that I don't understand German (it's my mother tongue) but since I work in the IT I am used to working with english software (and not with german). Could you please help me??

What you're experiencing is the result of a bug in the 2.6.2 installer that has been fixed for the next release. You can set Pidgin to be in English as mentioned in the FAQ: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#HowdoesPidginforWindowsdeterminewhichlanguagetouse -D ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Pidgin in English
Downloading and installing Pidgin on a Swedish WinXP, from a Swedish IP sets the language to Swedish as default without any obvious way to change it.
