Hi Christian, I think adding an "Edit" menu on top and adding "Language Settings" into it looks like a good option. Another option would be adding "Language Options" button to the toolbar. Both routes will allow to expand these menus/or window(s) to larger "Global settings" screens if the need arises in the future. I'd love to hear what you thing about this route.

Hello,
I'm very interested in the opinions of our users of Back In Time. So please feel free to comment this.
I opened an Issue with better illustrations: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1482
I wasn't able to find a good place for a "Setup language" feature to give the user the opportunity to modify the UI language. First I had the idea to add a new "Language" entry in the menu bar. But this menu will have 46 entries (44 translations, 1 english-source, 1 "system default") which is to much for a monitor. Multi column menus are to hacky.
Because of that I would like to create a simple modal dialog and place all language options there. Not sure if I would use a list control or radio buttons or something else.
A drop down menu in main window might be an option. But I don't like this idea. Because users will setup the language just one time. But this control will stay on the main window (toolbar) for ever. And in a dropdown menu people are not aware of the "great fact" that BIT do over 44 translations. ;)
We also don't have an application specific settings dialog. All settings are related to a snapshot profile.
In the end I would like to have an application specific submenu in the menu bar and place a "Setup language" entry in there opening the dialog. The linked Issue is about that rearrangement of the menubar.
