Dear group members

I installed Jupyter notebook on my computer, and now I realized that it shows 'Chinese character' instead of English menu.
As I am not familiar with Chinese language, I would like to change it to English.

However, I could not find any of language settings, options on Jupyter notebook.
Also, I searched several pages but it only shows 'Mac OS version' problem solving instead of Windows 10 version.

How could I change this? I totally not understand what those Chinese characters meaning....
I am waiting for someone's clever answer!

Hi,


Set `LANG` the  environment variable to `en_US` or `en_US.UTF-8` and restart the jupyter notebook server.

Details here: How the language is selected ?

Hope this helps.

It might be your browser requesting the Chinese language from Jupyter. In that case, you'll have to change browser language settings. See this discussion here:

Sadly, nothing is working properly.

I am using Jupyter notebook via Chrome, and its basic language is set on English.
Also, 

How the language is selected ?

  1. jupyter notebook command reads the LANG environment variable at startup, (xx_XX or just xx form, where xx is the language code you're wanting to run in).

Hint: if running Windows, you can set it in PowerShell with ${Env:LANG} = "xx_XX". if running Ubuntu 14, you should set environment variable LANGUAGE="xx_XX".

  1. The preferred language for web pages in your browser settings (xx) is also used. At the moment, it has to be first in the list.
this methods are not working properly.

My Jupyter notebook's Powershell does not recognize such command.....

Run those commands in the shell where you start jupyter, then start jupyter again.
