I didn't have it as because I was using an applet directly from the GoKGS webpage (see @CodesInChaos comment). Now it works perfectly, thanks.

<p>I am forced to use czech language, but I would like to use English. How can I switch languages in GoKGS?</p>

<p>This is what I see when I click File (1st in the menu) and Set preferences (3rd in the submenu):</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/qaFwa.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>I don't see anything to switch languages. My preferences should probably look like in the help page (<a href="https://www.gokgs.com/help/setPrefsWin.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.gokgs.com/help/setPrefsWin.html</a>) but unfortunatelly they don't!</p>

I am forced to use czech language, but I would like to use English. How can I switch languages in GoKGS?

This is what I see when I click File (1st in the menu) and Set preferences (3rd in the submenu):

The problem was that I ran it directly from the page: <https://www.gokgs.com/applet.jsp> - this doesn't allow to change the language (options are reduced).

Once I downloaded and installed CGoban3 at my computer (<https://www.gokgs.com/download.jsp>), it works as expected and I can change the language.
