Improved UI Language Support in After Effects offers the ability to use Unicode characters in various parts of the application user interface (UI).
This means you can:
- Run After Effects in a language different from your OS display language.
- Enter any Unicode character in various UI elements, such as text fields, labels, and controls. This includes project and layer names, as well as effect names and their parameters. For example, options in the Dropdown Menu effect.
- Enter multiple languages within a single text field. For example, you can add Russian, German, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese within a single text field.
Run After Effects in a language different from your OS display language
Improved Language Support in After Effects allows you to run the software in a language different from the operating system's display language. This means you have the flexibility to set a different language for After Effects without being restricted to the language your system is configured to.
For example, if your OS display language is set to English but you prefer to work in After Effects using Japanese:
- Uninstall After Effects.
- Open the Creative Cloud app and set your display language to Japanese.
- Reinstall After Effects, and it will install in Japanese. When you run it, the application will operate in that language.
This feature is particularly useful for working in multilingual environments, as it allows you to maintain your preferred UI language without needing to change system preferences.
Note: This feature is not supported for Chinese. To run AE in Chinese, you still must set your OS language to Chinese.
Enter Unicode characters in UI text fields
With Unicode support, you can input a diverse array of characters from multiple languages and symbol sets, directly within the user interface.
No Text Layer Support Changes
No changes have been made to rendering Unicode text in Text layers. As always, you can still enter Unicode text, but color emoji won't render, and if a glyph is missing in the selected font, it may not be rendered correctly.
We’d like to know how things are working, even if you’re not a user who works in multiple languages. This is a huge undertaking that touches almost every part of After Effects as well as Premiere Pro, so please let us know:
- Are you seeing language artifacts (characters where they don’t belong) in Ae/Pr?
- Is the UI text within the After Effects/Premiere UI appearing properly?
- Are you able to input any language into UI fields without issue?
- Do your MOGRTs controls look correct in both Pr and Ae?
