I'm using FileMaker 18 in my non-english locale, and that's good for dates, numbers, etc.
However, as I'm still learning FileMaker, having all the script steps translated is rather troublesome because most tutorials and examples are in English. I can translate them and find the proper steps in my language, but sometimes it is not perfectly clear which of two or three translations is correct and anyway it's a step that shouldn't be necessary.
Is there a way to tell FileMaker (18 Pro Advanced) to use English as the script language, and only there, or is it always tied to the system settings?
This is on MacOS 10.14
The interface/program language is tied to the system language, if that language is one of the supported languages. If not, the program defaults to English. The language affects the whole program, there is no way to have different language for parts of the program.
Date and numbering format follows the system setting for date/time/numbering, independently of the program language. (There is however a known bug in the the display formatting of dates in non-supported languages where / is used as separator regardless of the system setting.)
You may be able to force the program over to English if you remove the resource for your locale.
