I have installed Shopware via DigitalOcean and it seems to install it as the German version, is there a way I can change it to English as all the invoices etc are in German.

This needs to be done during the installation. There is no way for doing this via the settings.

You could try execute this sql file:&nbsp;[https://github.com/shopware/shopware/blob/5.5/recovery/install/data/sql/en.sql](https://github.com/shopware/shopware/blob/5.5/recovery/install/data/sql/en.sql)

Thanks I will give it a go, what command do I need to run to execute it. I have used wget to download it to my Ubuntu server&nbsp;
