== Used language: ==
|
||||
Doc files are in french, but KiCad user interface is internationalized:
|
||||
User interface is in English for most countries.
|
||||
User interface is in French **only** if you run kicad from a french version of Linux or Windows.
|
||||
User interface is in you native language only if you run KiCad from a localized version of you operation system.
|
||||
It is easy to add a new translation with poedit.
|
||||
Kicad can use this translation without any change.
|
||||
(poedit is used to create the french translation).
|
||||
KiCad can use this translation without any change.
|
||||
'poedit' is used to create the french (and many other) translations.

Unzip kicad.zip

Windows executables are in c:\kicad\winexe.

(schematic, pcb, utilities: cvpcb, gerbview and other) )

I suggest you create a shortcut to c:\kicad\winexe\kicad.exe
