Beersmith language

[BHebert]

I'm trying to make a recipe on Beersmith. Most of the grains are in a foreign language. Looks like German. Everything else is in English. Anybody know what to do?

Learn German?

 

[BHebert]

Not sure it is German. I would hate to spend the next year learning German and it turns out to be Dutch.

Are you saying something like 'Munich' Malt is written in German?

 

[Homercidal]

Have you imported an ingredients list or something recently?

The only option I can find to change language is to select a different Style Guide under Tools, Options, Brewing.

I have that too. The description is in German for some of the German malts and French for some of the Belgian malts I believe. You could try google translate.

That's a good point, I guess you'll have to learn all the languages with a Latin alphabet just to be safe. Put down that beer and get crackin'!

Castle malting it is in Dutch I believe.

Castle malting it is in Dutch I believe.

My Castle malts shows as CHÂTEAU XXXXX, in all caps. Mostly in French spelling, no Dutch (e.g., CHOCOLAT, NATURE).

I HATE ALL CAPS! They also sort before lower case <ugh>.

The whole naming scheme in BS is a royal mess.
Waiting for BS X to get released. (10 that is).

Added:
Just browsing through the descriptions, the only ones that are strange are these:
10 of my Castle malts' descriptions show in Swedish (not Dutch). The origin of those is listed as Belgien.
