Can't set new language

[hardloff]

I used to have Norwegian as my preferred language on my Mac. But after I deleted unnecessary languages to free some space, it automatically set the language to English, and now I can't seem to reset the language to Norwegian.

I've already set Norwegian as my primary language, but it still won't adjust. How do I fix this?

So I just found out that only some of the applications changed language, but not all. Also Finder is partially in English and partially in Norwegian... What?

How much space did you free up deleting the languages?

How much space did you free up deleting the languages?

Not much, tbh. I just read somwhere that if you wanted to clear some space that you could do that. But it didn't help much.

So you only kept the Norwegian and English then? Could you share a link to that article? I'm curious about the benefits doing so.

Cheers

Yes, but it wasn't succesful, because I still have all the other languages. But after I tried doing it it just won't go fully back to Norwegian.

Here's the link:

What is the size of your OS disk? Is it so small that you needed to free up space?

Did you make a backup before using the mono-tinker-tool? Or did you use some other Mac 'cleaner'?

If so its best AFAIK to restore from your backup and leave the language files alone.

Don't tinker with OSX unless you have all the knowledge to do it in a safe way. And always backup first!
