The App language parameter is used to change the language and locale of the Insights desktop interface. If the chosen app language is also a supported documentation language, then the help documentation will use the selected app language by default.
Note:
The help language pack must be installed to view offline help in a language other than English.
The help source can be set to Online help (default) or Offline help. It is recommended that you continue to use the online help unless your computer is disconnected from the internet because the online help is updated more frequently than the offline help.
