OK, I have found it in my .config directory.
It is a very long file but I cannot find anything in it about the language to be used.

Hi,
I have followd the web page directions for installing on a linux system into a virtual env.
I have reinstalled the whole thing today with
Version = "25.9 (rev. 8445137940e8)"
VersionOnly = "25.9"
As far as I can tell, there is not eric7.ini file.
Maybe with this info, you can tell me where to find it.

Ken

Hello Pythonistas,
I just uploaded eric 25.9. It fixes some bugs and adds these new features.
* General
o Made the code compatible with Python 3.14.
* Code Style Checker
o Updated these checkers.
+ Security to `bandit` v1.8.6.
o - Added these new checkers.
+ Checker based on `flake8_no_nested_comprehensions` v1.0.0 to
detect comprehensions with multiple generators.
* Editor
o Added an information pane informing the user when an editor file
is changed externally. It gives the option to activate the
editor automatic reload capability, to reload the modified file,
to ignore the current external modification and all further ones
and to show a dialog with the differences between the externally
modified file and the current editor text.
* MicroPython
o Added the capability to clear the graph and delete the recorded
raw data to the graph view.
o Migrated the graph widget to the QtGraphs package because the
QtCharts package is deprecated. The wheel will therefore install
PyQt6 ? 6.8.0. Using the provided install script, eric-ide can
be used with older PyQt6 versions as well.
o Added an action button to stop the running script.
o Extended the file manager widget to deal with multi selection of
files.
o Updated the list of known CircuitPython boards.
o Updated the list of known UF2 capable boards.
* - Third Party packages
o Upgraded `eradicate` to version 3.0.0.
o Upgraded `pycodestyle` to version 2.14.0.
o Upgraded `pyflakes` to version 3.4.0.
It is available via the eric web site or PyPI.

You probably misconfigured the user interface and did not recognize it.
The easiest way toclear that is to open the eric-ide settings file
(eric7.ini) in an editor and delete the configuration key "UI/Language".
Not knowing your platform I cannot give the path to that file.

‘She has never mentioned her father to me. Was he—well, the sort of man whom the County Club would not have blackballed?’ "We walked by the side of our teams or behind the wagons, we slept on the ground at night, we did our own cooking, we washed our knives by sticking them into the ground rapidly a few times, and we washed our plates with sand and wisps of grass. When we stopped, we arranged our wagons in a circle, and thus formed a 'corral,' or yard, where we drove our oxen to yoke them up. And the corral was often very useful as a fort, or camp, for defending ourselves against the Indians. Do you see that little hollow down there?" he asked, pointing to a depression in the ground a short distance to the right of the train. "Well, in that hollow our wagon-train was kept three days and nights by the Indians. Three days and nights they stayed around, and made several attacks. Two of our men were killed and three were wounded by their arrows, and others had narrow escapes. One arrow hit me on the throat, but I was saved by the knot of my neckerchief, and the point only tore the skin a little. Since that time I have always had a fondness for large neckties. I don't know how many of the Indians we killed, as they carried off their dead and wounded, to save them from being scalped. Next to getting the scalps of their enemies, the most important thing with the Indians is to save their own. We had several fights during our journey, but that one was the worst. Once a little party of us were surrounded in a small 'wallow,' and had a tough time to defend ourselves successfully. Luckily for us, the Indians had no fire-arms then, and their bows and arrows were no match for our rifles. Nowadays they are well armed, but there are[Pg 41] not so many of them, and they are not inclined to trouble the railway trains. They used to do a great deal of mischief in the old times, and many a poor fellow has been killed by them." As dusk came on nearly the whole population of Maastricht, with all their temporary guests, formed an endless procession and went to invoke God's mercy by the Virgin Mary's intercession. They went to Our Lady's Church, in which stands the miraculous statue of Sancta Maria Stella Maris. The procession filled all the principal streets and squares of the town. I took my stand at the corner of the Vrijthof, where all marched past me, men, women, and children, all praying aloud, with loud voices beseeching: "Our Lady, Star of the Sea, pray for us ... pray for us ... pray for us ...!" It had not occurred to her for some hours after Mrs. Campbell had told her of Landor's death that she was free now to give herself to Cairness. She had gasped, indeed, when she did remember it, and had put the thought away, angrily and self-reproachfully. But it returned now, and she felt that she might cling to it. She had been grateful, and she had been faithful, too.[Pg 286] She remembered only that Landor had been kind to her, and forgot that for the last two years she had borne with much harsh coldness, and with a sort of contempt which she felt in her unanalyzing mind to have been entirely unmerited. Gradually she raised herself until she sat quite erect by the side of the mound, the old exultation of her half-wild girlhood shining in her face as she planned the future, which only a few minutes before had seemed so hopeless. After he had gloated over Sergeant Ramsey, Shorty got his men into the road ready to start. Si placed himself in front of the squad and deliberately loaded his musket in their sight. Shorty took his place in the rear, and gave out: The groups about each gun thinned out, as the shrieking fragments of shell mowed down man after man, but the rapidity of the fire did not slacken in the least. One of the Lieutenants turned and motioned with his saber to the riders seated on their horses in the line of limbers under the cover of the slope. One rider sprang from each team and ran up to take the place of men who had fallen. "As long as there's men and women in the world, the men 'ull be top and the women bottom." Then, in the house, the little girls were useful. Mrs. Backfield was not so energetic as she used to be. She had never been a robust woman, and though her husband's care had kept her well and strong, her frame was not equal to Reuben's demands; after fourteen years' hard labour, she suffered from rheumatism, which though seldom acute, was inclined to make her stiff and slow. It was here that Caro and Tilly came in, and Reuben began to appreciate his girls. After all, girls were needed in a house—and as for young men and marriage, their father could easily see that such follies did not spoil their usefulness or take them from him. Caro and Tilly helped their grandmother in all sorts of ways—they dusted, they watched pots, they shelled peas and peeled potatoes, they darned house-linen, they could even make a bed between them.
