Thus trying to look for LMMS Preferences under the LMMS top menu item doesn't work in the Portuguese version, but it probably does in English versions. One odd thing, is that I think I'm correct in saying that different versions have different contextual menus, and different locations for common features, such as preferences.
English exists in several different distinct forms - US, British, Australian, Canadian - and probably a few others too, and apart from Chinese it is the major lingua franca worldwide. There are several forms of Portuguese, yet it is a minority language. It's a pity there is no British English, but having it work at all is good. I found that I could access what in English versions would be Preferences by looking under Editar. Perhaps I should just be grateful it does load up in Catalina, and learn Portuguese! I was really hoping to give it a fair trial - as it does seem to have some useful features, even if it is a bit quirky. This LMMS issue is a shame, as I feel sure things could be got to work rather well with not too much effort. That is perhaps a possibility, though to test I downloaded a couple of other programs - GIMP and Audacity, and they came up with English buttons and menus, so I think it's unlikely that the language issue is a problem with my machine. I did wonder if the problem is something to do with my machine - whether it has perhaps picked up some nasty malware, which converts newly installed programs/apps into non-English versions. All the recent Mac versions seem to come up in Portuguese.
Regarding LMMS, the problem I mentioned in the other thread still exists. I think I've got a bootable drive which has a copy of one of the previous installations, so if necessary I could use that for the Microsoft package. I wish I'd known about the way that Catalina effectively trashes some applications, such as Office 2011 and 32 bit versions of Audacity, though I guess it's not the end of the world. After quite a long while, and considerable faffing I finally got that done today. I have already posted a thread about installing on High Sierra, but for various reasons I decided to do the "upgrade" of the laptop to Catalina. I have several Macs, runnng different OS versions. I have been trying to install versions of LMMS on my machines.
