I use it but I don't like how the app language = system language, you can't change it >It's not technically challenging to add a drop-down list of languages to the UI, as least for the Qt client, but I'm still not convinced it'll be used by a lot of people. https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/1152 https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/1152

Oof yeah that's a faux pas. Apps also frequently use the wrong setting and try to set their language using location rather than the user's selected language. So on Windows VLC for me is in Czech since that's where I chose my location (for the correct time), even though my UI language + kb layout is US English. Quite a few apps make this mistake :-/

On MacOS you can set specific language for each app from the system settings, so It should be possible to set Transmission's language too.

Almost all Mac apps work this way. All apps use the global language and region settings. It would be against platform conventions to override the system settings, and in my opinion it's a waste of developer time to add such a setting in the app (especially because that popup needs to be tested, maintained, localized....). If you really want the app to use a different language than the system, you can just override the user default per app: defaults write org.m0k.transmission AppleLanguages '(de_at)'

  It's possible to select a preferred language for each app in System Preferences / System Settings since macOS 10.15 (or 10.14? anyway since some years ago).
