Point taken on the command line startup, that would certainly be more straight forward than what I did, creating the bitcoin.conf file when I didn't find it. 

Cheers, thanks again!

RESOLVED with your assist, Psy, thanks.
  • Checked for the file you referenced but I did not find it at the directory cited at site https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin (/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)
  • As the file did not exist, I created it and entered only the language setting code you provided.  On restart the Bitcoin-Qt application was in English
  • In conclusion it appears that without an explicit statement from the bitcoin.conf file, the application simply defaults to the system's original language

in your bitcoin.conf file insert
Code:
lang=en
and restart bitcoin-qt


Thanks for the help Psy, having a look, looks like the latest version stores that somewhere else on OSX, checking this out at as I'm not finding the config file just at the moment.  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin

You could also set the language on start from the command line. Just append
Code:
-lang=en
to the normal command to start bitcoin-qt

Also, the OSX data dir is ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

After installing Bitcoin-Qt I found that the display language is Simplified Chinese.  I believe the install recognized use of that language on my OSX but I really don't want that language.  I can read Chinese so I can get around the nav but I can't find language settings, anyone familiar with Bitcoin-Qt with some advisory as to how to adjust language setting?
