I was wondering it is time to retire this default setting.

TeX and LaTex were perhaps relatively well-known and well-used by MATLAB's core user-group forty years ago... but as:

• more users come from a wider range of backgrounds which have no exposure to the rather arcane (La)TeX,
• huge advances in character encoding (Unicode), which includes quite a few e.g. superscript and subscript characters that avoid the need for markup.

perhaps it would be simpler to make the "interpreter" default to "none".

sett = 'SISTEMI_DA_VALUTARE_SENZA_COMMISSIONI';
title(sett, 'Interpreter', 'none')

If you read the documentation you will have better luck using Matlab: title

Also, if you are just getting started with Matlab, I would highly recommend that you take a couple of hours to go through the free online tutorial: Matlab Onramp

For those who do not speak English well, what is written in the manual is often not understandable even using Google Translate

If there is a specific documentation page or section of a documentation page that you found difficult to understand, please give that feedback to the documentation staff by rating the page. Scroll to the end of the page and select a number of stars under "How useful was this information?" After selecting a number of stars you will be given the opportunity to type more information for the documentation staff.

@Luca Re I'm glad that I was able to help. Thanks for accepting the answer.

@Steven Lord Is the documentation not localized?

[Stephen23]

@Les Beckham: certainly, the online documentation currently offers these locales and languages:

According to some online tools the title in Luca Re's question is in italian, so perhaps "Italia (Italiano)" would be a suitable locale.

but even if I use the Italian translation it doesn't translate Matlab into Italian... I have to use the chrome translation engines

[Stephen23]

@piero: you are right, it is rather odd. Some of the locales (e.g. Spain, China) change the language of the documentation and menus, whereas other locales (e.g. France, Italy) only change the menu language but the documentation itself remains in English! It is not behavior I would expect when using that dialog box.

Write a bug report.

[Les Beckham]

@piero

You should absolutely follow @Stephen23's advice and file a bug report.

It definitely seems strange that you are accessing help from the it.mathworks.com/... site that you are seeing the help pages in English.

@Steven Lord does the localized domain of the XX.mathworks.com address determine the language, or is it the specific user's OS/browser settings?

Could this be related to the recent decision to use online help instead of help installed to the local machine by the installer?

i've send a report bug..thank

We prioritize translating documentation pages into various languages based on page views. The documentation page for the title function has not yet been translated into Italian.

The mechanism I suggested above, using the text field for feedback that appears after giving the page a number of stars at the "How useful was this information?" prompt, is the recommended way to inform the documentation staff of your interest in having a particular page translated.
