I think this amazing and pretty cool feature is not able to gain limelight, so I want you to know that Wireshark offers you to change the language to any other language of your choice, for example, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin actually), Polish, French, and so on, and this feature has been there their since version 1.99.
Giving the privilege to users to change the default language of the application to their native language is all about personalizing user experience while working with the application. If users feel more connected and comfortable with the application, then they will definitelybecome more productive.
Let's see, with the help of an example, how we can change our system's default language to Japanese (launched with version 2.0). Follow the given steps to achieve the same:
- Navigate to Wireshark | Preferences (Windows users need to navigate to View | Edit | Preferences):
- Now, choose Japanese from the drop-down list at the bottom, and click on OK:
- Now, you probably will see everything in Japanese, as shown in the following screenshot:
- To revert it back to System Default, follow the same steps.
The most amazing thing about this is that you can also become part of the change; this means that if you want to help Wireshark's team in adding your native language, then you can get in touch with them.
From the help menu, you can list all the keyboard shortcuts, which can be used to make things work faster than usual. Even to make graphs, now you have a shortcut available.
