 * Hi,
    I just installed qTranslate locally to test it, and would like to set the
   default language to French. At the moment I have 3 options: English, Deutsch 
   and Chinese… Can you tell me how to do this? Thank you for your help.

 * Hi,
 * first of all you have to set up the new language “French” so, go to setting->
   Languages and enable Francais from the table.
 * Then you have to edit the laguage as is better for your need and finally you 
   can set the default laguage in “General Settings” by using the small arrows(up/
   down); the first language in the order will be the default.

 * Well…
    I could not find my way because actually you have to disable the languages
   you want to use (not very logical…). Thank you.
