How do you change only the menu items to English after installing IBM Rational DOORS 9.2.0.4 or newer onto a German operating system?

Answer

If you change your operating system locale to English, you will get the English menus in Rational DOORS.

However if you want to keep the operating system to German but change only the menu items, follow the steps below:

  1. In your DOORSHOME 9.2 installation area open a folder called language.
  2. There are 2 sub-foldersf called "core" and "dxl" which hold each the language file "de.res" file. Rename these files to de.old.
  3. When you restart Rational DOORS, the menu items will be English.
