InformationshinweisFor Qlik Sense Desktop: By default, Qlik Sense Desktop runs in a window of its own, in the display language of the operating system of your computer. In this case, the language cannot be altered unless you change the display language of the operating system. If you open Qlik Sense Desktop in a web browser, the language used depends on both the web browser and how that browser detects the language to display.
