Hello, I have downloaded the plugin and installed it correctly. but because I bought my laptop in Italy, the plugin uses Italian language! Despite the fact that the GIMP itself uses English language. So my question is, how to change the language of the plugin into English? Thanx a lot

I assume you are working on Windows. My advice, which is based on my lack of knowledge of that operationg system, is:

1. open the file explorer
2. go to the folder C:\Programmi\GIMP-2.0\share\locale\it\LC_MESSAGES or something similar¹
3. delete the file gimp20-lqr-plugin.mo, or change its name to something else like gimp20-lqr-plugin-backup.mo or whatever

I hope this helps.

Footnotes

1. you may need to change C: to something else, and I assume your Program Files folder is called Programmi and that you have installed GIMP in the default location
