How do I change the language in Spring STS Dashboard

Question

I downloaded the mac version here https://spring.io/tools/sts/all The language in the Dashboard seems a bit off. Has anyone experienced this issue? Screenshot of STS with Dashboard open.

This is happening due to a Font rendering issue while using JavaFx. There is already an issue open to track this - https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-4422 . A simple workaround is to switch to older dashboard until the issue is fixed. You can switch to old by going to Preferences-->Spring-->Dashboard and then checking the "Use Old Dashboard" checkbox.
