Feature Request — Bilingual / Multilingual UI Labels in Adobe Apps

Hello Adobe Team,

I’d like to submit a feature request for Adobe desktop applications (e.g., Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator): a multilingual UI display option that allows interface text to be shown in multiple languages at the same time.

Requested Feature: Multilingual UI Labels (Displayed Simultaneously)

I’m hoping for a system that can show UI labels in more than one language in a single view. The implementation could be flexible—for example:

• Side-by-side labels (e.g., “File / 文件/ファイル” or “Layer / 图册/レイヤー”)

• Hover tooltips that display a second (or multiple) languages when the cursor is placed over a menu item, button, or setting

• Any other approach that achieves the main goal: being able to see multiple languages at once, without switching the whole application language in settings

The key point is: multilingual information should be visible simultaneously in the UI, rather than requiring users to reinstall or restart the application to switch languages.

Background: International Team, Multilingual Workflow

I’m a Chinese employee designer working at a real estate company in Japan. Our team is international—besides Japanese and Chinese speakers, we also have colleagues from English-speaking regions and other countries (including the U.S., Russia, and Malaysia). We also serve clients from all over the world.

I work as a designer on this team, and a multilingual UI option would meaningfully improve both collaboration and workflow efficiency.

Why This Matters

1) From a personal collaboration standpoint

Even though I complete most tasks independently, we still need to communicate on details—especially when discussing specific steps in software or troubleshooting a workflow. When team members use different UI languages, even simple instructions like “go to this menu,” “turn on this option,” or “change this setting” can become slower and more error-prone.

A multilingual UI display would make collaboration smoother by allowing everyone to refer to the same UI elements with shared terminology across languages.

2) From a creator/learning standpoint

When learning creative software, many users rely on online tutorials and documentation. While English is common, valuable tutorials and resources also exist in Japanese, Chinese, and many other languages. In practice, users often find tutorials in a language different from their native language through search, recommendations, or community links.

Some people may learn another language to adapt, but realistically, most users rely on:

• content in their native language, or

• translations of content they find online

If Adobe applications could display multilingual UI labels simultaneously, it would greatly help creators:

• learn faster by mapping terms across languages instantly

• follow tutorials in multiple languages without confusion

• create and share knowledge more effectively

• raise overall workflow accuracy and professionalism across multilingual communities

Summary

A bilingual/multilingual UI display option—whether side-by-side or via hover tooltips—would significantly improve usability for international teams and creators who learn from global resources. It would reduce friction, improve collaboration, and support Adobe’s diverse worldwide user base.

Thank you for considering this request. I’d be happy to provide examples, mockups, or specific workflows where this would be beneficial.
