How to change the Netbeans IDE language On the Mac?

1

Good evening,

Can you help me change the language in netbeans IDE 8.2? my operating system is in Portuguese but as the first version of netbeans installed was in English I think it must have influenced the Portuguese version currently installed, how can I change it manually? for the menus not found

Navigate to the Netbeans installation directory:

C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8\etc

Open the file netbeans.conf and look for the line with the key netbeans_default_options :

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true"

Add the following at the end of the line:

"-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US"

Restart Netbeans!

Change the language for English on Mac:

  • Open the terminal and go to the / Applications / NetBeans / NetBeans 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc
  • type sudo vim netbeans.conf (this opens netbeans.conf in admin mode)
  • find the line started with netbeans_default_options
  • at the end of this line, before the "add -J-Duser.language = en -J-Duser.region = US
  • Save the file and re-run netbeans.
  • In my case, this line looks like this:

    netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US"
    

    OBS: My netbeans is version 8.2. If you have another installed, just set the path to the /etc folder.
