Change Language? Lightroom From Portuguese to English

  • June 7, 2019

Hey,
I've been trying to change Lightroom's language for at least a first few days, which is in fact a long time for such a trivial task, and I'm sure Adobe is very well aware of that problem, which is one of the reasons why I'm surely not going to pay for more than a year of CC.
Anyways, rant asside, I want to change my language from Portuguese to English. I've removed creative cloud as a whole, deleted all entries on the Registry, deleted all references in Program Files, ProgramData, AppData, Temp, etc, and installed creative cloud in english. In fact, I already had it set to english even before I installed Lightroom before all this. I used to be able to simply change Creative Cloud's language and reinstalling Lightroom and that would work, but it no longer does.
Any help?

    Lightroom is multilingual by default, you don't have to change the language through the CC app. You can select the language in the preferences (you will need to restart it). Did you try that?

    Hey,

    I just tried that option on my Macbook, and I can confirm it works. However, I had started this thread on my Windows PC, so I won't yet mark your answer as correct until I test it there

    It will work that way on Windows too.

    Hi,

    I believe you may not have fully read my post, as I said that I tried just that on line 7. Still, could be helpful for those who haven't tried that yet.

    Sincerely,
    Francisco
