When I right-click in the Editor, I get a menu in Asian characters.

When I right-click in the Editor, I get a menu in Asian characters. That's the only non-English menu. How can I change the menu to English? I'm on a Mac and use MATLAB R2023b.

Hey,

I understand that when you right click in the editor, the menu is being displayed in Chinese not English.

Mathwoks support staff has already acknowledged that this is a known issue with MacOS and MATLAB R2023b. MathWorks’ development teams are aware of the issue and are working to fix it in a future release or update. Meanwhile, they have provided a workaround for this issue:

Verify whether any other languages are listed in the "Language & Region" section within the system preferences on your Mac machine. Set "English" as the primary language in the "Language & Regions" settings. If any secondary languages are present, then please remove them.
