Feature Request — Bilingual / Multilingual UI Labels in Adobe AppsOpen for Voting

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 WorkflowI’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 Matters1) From a personal collaboration standpointEven 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 standpointWhen 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 SummaryA 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.

P: Bleed margin in ExportOpen for Voting

When you export, you can designate a size and PPI - so for my example, lets say A4 size, 210mm width at 300PPI. The crop ratio of the paper size is 1.414.I am printing some photos at full bleed, so I need an extra 5mm bleed beyond the 1.414 crop of the image. The crop ratio will be slightly different (1.395) due to the bleed, and I will lose some of the sides of images if I just export the original image. There is NO easy way to change the existing crop ratio and pick the exact number of pixels I need for the bleed - this is very painful to do (and involves doing quite a bit of fussing in Photoshop to preserve my exact crop in the printed area of the page).I believe that this could be very easily implemented and solved as an Export option in Lightroom and would be an enormous benefit for anyone wanting to preserve their existing crop when printing full page. In the Image Sizing option of the Export dialog have an additional field that allows you to specify a bleed amount which will be applied to ALL the sides of the image.You can either default to White/Black as a fill colour when you do not have enough pixels outside of your crop on any one of the sides. You don’t need to add this as a “extend option”, as this is easily implemented in InDesign (for example) - but you do need something to specify if you do not have enough pixels on any given side.You would expand from the center (extended by equal number of pixels on each side)I think the UI could be quite simple, along the lines of:x Add Bleed | nn | mm/in.       Fill Color (White/Black/Picker etc) - if needed... So, for my example, I would export to an A4 size, add 5mm bleed, at 300ppi, and I get an exported image of 220x307mm (300 ppi) which includes the original crop + the 5mm extra bleed pixels, taken from outside of my crop.Simple right! :-)William
