Language options in Photoshop 2021

While choosing a language in Lightroom Classic is as simple as can be, doing so in Photoshop is plainly horrible.

Please, someone, how can I choose the language of my choice in Photoshop WITHOUT having to change the install language in Adobe Creative Cloud and then removing Photoshop and re-installing it again?

    Hi Gener7,

    My copy of Photoshop CC 2021 only shows one UI Language at a time, depending on what I chose as an install language in Adobe Creative Cloud. How did you get Photoshop CC 2021 to show several UI Languages to choose from?


    I simply change the install language and install for each language I want, but I do not uninstall Photoshop itself. What this does is to drop a language folder into the Locales folder in the Photoshop folder like so:

    From there I choose the language and restart Photoshop.

    I have not seen any problems doing it this way, but it may not work for all Creative Cloud Programs.

    See this: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/change-install-language.html

     

    Personally I never uninstall one language so I can have another language installed. I install the other language and from then on I can switch between them in Preferences.

    I think it's easier in Photoshop because only language-pack folders are involved. I wouldn't do that with InDesign because of the different Type and Layout engines.

      If you're talking about the UI/Menu Languages then you'll have to use Creative Cloud.
