Hi, I'm using photoshop CS4 middle eastern version, but i'm more confortable with Frensh interface, i tried to change UI language in Edit->Preference menu but it's not available.

Th reason that i use middle Eastern edition is that i need to use Arabic.

If you have a solution, please write to me

    No. Chris gave the answer in the previous post.


    The UI Language cannot be changed.


    I lectured in Germany and had to use two PS licences.


    I think I have the solution.

    In Applications | Photoshop there is a folder Locales, containing the language packs.  My original installation has a folder en_GB.

    I installed a German version of Photoshop, copied the folder de_DE out of this Locales folder into the original location besides my English version.  I started Photoshop, went Preferences and presto, there was the second language option.  After restarting Photoshop, Adobe prompts me for a serial. Pretty cheeky in my opinion, but since my university buys serial numbers on quantity discount ... I entered a German serial and I can switch between versions.  So far, I haven't had any problems.

    In hindsight this solution is quite elementary.  I have one Photoshop installation, saving 600MB on my MBP's (relatively) small HDD.  Once again, pretty cheeky for Adobe to require 2 licenses for this, but as my employer's paying, I don't really care.  My question to you, why is this not a better documented procedure or a rather normal installation feature?

    Frensh is the language for my Windows, it already exists, i've had Photoshop European version and it was in Frensh and everything was alright, but i needed Arabic, so i've found Middle Eastern version and installed it but Frensh doesn't exist even during setup, so....

    I'm sorry, i don't have Illustrator middle estern edition, i don't even know if it exists

    C'mon people, please do not discuss the use of pirated software on the vendor's forum, for goodness sake.

    As you see on the picture, only English is available, so is there a tip or freeware for adding other languages?

    Please help

    As far as I know the UI language cannot be changed.


    That option is a mistake.
