Hi.
The version of Inkscape I have downloaded is 0.92.2 64-bit. Windows 7
The Toolbars and menus appear to be in the Greek language.
Is there a way to change to the english language?

Hi Alexandros81,

If you go to Edit > Preferences > Interface >and in there at the top will be where you can change the language.

Hopefully, it will be as simple as I have described it, hope you navigate alright to your preferences  :)

Welcome to the forum!

Is there any chance you had installed Inkscape with Greek?  You certainly can change the language, as TMadisson says.  I think you need to restart Inkscape to make it take effect.  But just for the future, you can watch during installation, and make sure to choose the language you want.

Happy drawing  :)

Followed TMadisson instructions and have changed the language succesfully.
How do I mark this thread as solved?

It's not necessary to mark it solved.

Glad you got it set up to your liking!
