Translations (MC11.1 and above):
Media Center 11.1 added the ability to switch languages (under Tools)
This is based on translation files supplied by several users (thanks to all). You can modify the files you find here:
Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\Data\Languages
but also save it to another location in case it is over-written on the next install of the program.
To uninstall, just delete the file. If the file isn't there, MC reverts to English.

How do I post a screenshot?
You can use MC to do it. Here's how.
1. Select your window.
2. Hit Alt-Print Screen. This copies the window to the clipboard.
3. Then select Camera in the Action Window, and Copy from Clipboard. This imports it.
4. Then select the new image and choose Share to Web. This will put it on our pix01.com site.
5. Pix01.com will mail you a link (from Pixie). Copy and paste the link to the forum.
