Visual Studio For English Mac Japanese Wrong



  1. Change language of Visual Studio 2017 RC. Hi, thanks for reporting that the download link sends you to the wrong place. I will file a bug for us to take care of that. Polish-> English (VS on MAC) answer: When I started a project and was forced to download Visual Studio, went to their page and saw that Microsoft logo I knew there would.
  2. A number of free development tools are also available, including Visual Studio Express for Windows, Visual Studio Express for Web and Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop. These tools provide a subset of the functionality available in Visual Studio Professional 2017 and are specific to writing applications targeting these platforms.

Recently, I wrote a couple of blog post (here and here) about how to enable multi-lingual development scenarios by taking advantage of the Visual Studio IDE UI language switching feature. I would like to add to those previous posts by showing an example of using this feature, including some screenshots.

Don't get me wrong, Mono is not a bad framework and MonoDevelop is not a bad IDE, but don't expect it to be fully compatible with.NET and Visual Studio. It's like switching from Microsoft Office (. Hacking a quick and dirty syntactic machine translation The goal of this project is to hack a quick and dirty machine translation for English and Japanese that is based on syntax only. Try online the machine translation engine.

For this example, I will use the English and French versions of the Visual C# 2005 Express Edition. However, it works equally well for any version and UI language of Visual Studio.

I configured my system as follows:

  1. I installed the English version of the Visual C# 2005 Express Edition
  2. I launched the VC# IDE to verify that everything worked as expected
  3. I installed the French version of the Visual C# 2005 Express Edition
  4. I launched the VC# IDE again to verify that everything still worked. The UI remained in English even though I had installed the French version because this setting was set to use English UI when I launched the IDE in step 2 above

Now that I have both the French and English versions of VC# Express installed, I can easily switch IDE UI languages. When I launch the IDE with English UI, it appears as follows:

Once I launch the IDE with English UI, I can do the following to change the UI language to French:

  1. Click on the Tools menu and choose Options...
  2. Check the Show all settings check box at the bottom left of the screen (which is unchecked by default in the VS 2005 Express Editions)
  3. Click the International Settings option under the Environment item in the tree control on the left side of the Options dialog
  4. Select francais in the Language drop down
  5. Click OK to confirm the language change and then press OK on the notification dialog that appears to indicate that the IDE must be restarted for the change to take effect
  6. Close and reopen the IDE

The English Options dialog looks like the following:

After following the above steps and then reopening the IDE, VC# will appear as follows:

I am able to change the language back to English by using the same set of steps as listed above, except I need to refer to the French translation for each of the IDE UI elements. The French Options dialog looks like the following:

In addition to using the steps listed above, I can change the IDE UI language by using the following command lines:

  • To launch the IDE with English UI: %ProgramFiles%Microsoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEvcsexpress.exe /LCID 1033
  • To launch the IDE with French UI: %ProgramFiles%Microsoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEvcsexpress.exe /LCID 1036

It is important to note that when using the /LCID command line switch, the default UI language will be updated in the registry when Visual Studio launches. That means that if you had previously configured VS to launch in English and you then pass in /LCID 1036, you will set the default language to French. That means that when you close the IDE and reopen it using the Start menu shortcut it will continue to appear with French UI until you change it in the International Settings section of the Options dialog or launch the IDE with /LCID 1033.

One other interesting note that I want to emphasize here - IDE language switching will be available even if you don't install the exact same edition of Visual Studio for each language. For example, you can install the English Visual Studio Team Suite and the French Visual Studio Professional. However, the only UI that will correctly switch languages will be components that are common to the two editions that you install on your system. So you might see a mix of two different UI languages depending on what editions you have installed on your system and what features you use within the IDE. In addition, there are limitations in the UI language fallback mechanism for some IDE features, so you may see some features missing from the IDE even though the feature is installed for one of the two UI languages.

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 RC, and by default it set language to my system language (Polish) so I was trying to change it to EN but in Options > Environment > International Settings i have only Polish language. There is link to 'download more languages', and it redirects to: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/And there I can only find language packs for VS 15.Anyone know where I can find EN language pack for VS 17 RC?

You can only install a language pack at install time in VS 2017 RC. To install RC with a different language:

  1. Open the Visual Studio Installer.
  2. Find an addition under 'Available' and click Install
  3. Click on the 'Language packs' tab and select a language

You can have multiple instances of VS 2017 side by side so this shouldn't interfere with your other installation.

Disclosure: I work on Visual Studio at Microsoft.

  1. Go to Tools ->Options
  2. Select International Settings in Environment and on the right side of a screen you should see a combo with the list of installed language packages. (so in my case Czech, English and same as on MS Windows )
  3. Click on Ok

You have to restart Visual Studio to see the change...

If you are polish (and got polish language settings)

  1. Narzędzia ->Opcje
  2. Ustawienia międzynarodowe in Środowisko

Hope this helps! Have a great time in Poland!

Language Pack Support in Visual Studio 2017 RC

Issue:

This release of Visual Studio supports only a single language pack for the user interface. You cannot install two languages for the user interface in the same instance of Visual Studio. In addition, you must select the language of Visual Studio during the initial install, and cannot change it during Modify.

Workaround:

These are known issues that will be fixed in an upcoming release. To change the language in this release, you can uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.

In RC2 (and most likely in the final release) you can switch language from inside Visual Studio and you can modify your setup to include other language packs.

You can now add and remove multiple user interface languages at any time using the Visual Studio installer on the Language Pack tab. You can select the current user interface language among those installed using Tools > Options > International Settings.

Polish-> English (VS on MAC) answer:When I started a project and was forced to download Visual Studio, went to their page and saw that Microsoft logo I knew there would be problems... And here it is. It occurred difficult to change the language of VS on Mac. My OS is purely English and only because of the fact I downloaded it using a browser with Polish set as a default language I got the wrong version. I had to reinstall the version to the newest and then Visual Studio Community -> Preferences(in the environment section) -> Visual Style-> User Interface Language.

It translates to polish: Visual Studio Community -> Preferencje -> Styl Wizualny w sekcji Środowisko -> Język interfejsu użytkownika -> English.

If you don't see such an option then, as I was, you are forced to upgrade this crappy VS to the newest version.
