Having problems to run musescore V2 (nightly builds) in german language
I'm trying to set the mscore-2 (nightly builds) user interface to german, but the only language offered by the preferences menu is "system". How to enable german interface language?
I screenshot of the preferences menu is attached.

Help / Resource Manager opens the tab to update the language;
In your picture I do not see the option "Update translation".
Is it in the menu: Help / Resource Manager?
I founded two ways ;)
1 :
* Help / Ressource Manager
in the dialog, search for German , Update , (then the dialog windows say "Updating" , than"Updated")
* Close Musescore
* Reopen it
normally that works
you may have to delete the palette file to let musescore translate also the palette (as you have to do this only once, I don't remember how to do it, but there must be somewhere in the forum the solution)

* Preference like your screenshot, but I have (I didn't updated nighlty builds from R 6661c67) the button : General / Language / Update Translation
Hope that helps

Lamaradelmy,
checking your proposals, but none did help:
Proposal 1: Help>Resource Manager, Deutsch updated. But the listed file mscore_de.qm is not available for mscore2, only for , only for mscore1 (/usr/share/mscore-1.3/locale/mscore_de.qm).
Proposal 2: General -> Language -> Update Translation: There is no such menu entry in the Language Menu, only "System" :-(

Make sure that the folders path is correct.
Try: revertToFactorySettings
In the folder: MuseScoreNightly/Special
But you're on Fedora?

Apparently you are on linux. You need a proper install of MuseScore in order to see all the languages and the nigthly build on linux doesn't provide this, it's just the binary.

What do you mean by "proper install". I'm running FedoraLinux 20, 64bit. On my box, mscore-1.3-2.fc20.x86_64 is installed. For testing, I unpacked the nightly build to my home directory and started mscore-2 (Unstable Prerelease for Version 2.0.0; Build 4db8a81) from this location. I don't think that that's wrong :-)

It is wrong, sort of. The nightly for Linux is just the binary, none of the supporting files. Translations would
be in those supporting files. This is quite annoying, I know...

Thank you, Jojo, for clarification! I guess, my LINUX problem remains unsolved for the moment, so I'll wait for future improvements!

Easiest might be to build MuseScore yourself, check http://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook for details

I could solve my problem concerning the German language:
I found out the if I start mscore-2 once, then a directory ~/MuseScoreDevelopment is created (filled with some subdirecrories). Then linking /usr/local/share/mscore-2.0 to ~/MuseScoreDevelopment solves my problem (another solution would have been: copy all subdirectories of ~/MuseScoreDevelopment, especially ~/MuseScoreDevelopment/locale, to /usr/local/share/msore-2.0).
I think the culprit is the fact that in the preferences dialog, all controls are defaulted to /usr/local/share/mscore-2.0... instead of to ~/MuseScoreDevelopment/...

Yes that might be the reason, or part of it. MuseScore first checks the system wide directory, then the user specific one, you now made them same.
The real culprit (!) though is that the nightly build for Linux contains only the executable itself and none of the supporting files.
However, seems you're now set for proofreading the German translations :-)
