CS6 illustrator PARM

[Guest]

Hello, I bought chinese version of CS6. However, after installing AI, it showed a [PARM] window. I can't open AI successful. What can I do? Thanks!!!

We cannot know without some system info. The [PARM] error generally in AI means that is unable to parse some data, which in your case could be an issue with Chinese language settings. Have you installed the program in Chinese or English? What is your system language? If possible, try to set your system to English or as a minor, use simplified chinese. Perhaps this might solve the problem.

I had the same problem as yours, the [PARM] error pops up everytime. Setting system language back to Simplified Chinese works, but is there a workaround to run Chinese version of AI under English locale? I actually found a way today.

1. Go to the MacOS folder of AI, should be like /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS
2. Here you should see a file named Adobe Illustrator, back up it first, then rename it to AICS6
3. Now create a new file named Adobe Illustrator, open the file and copy the following code into it, save it.

#!/bin/bash

BASEDIR=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)

"$BASEDIR/AICS6" -AppleLanguages '("zh-Hans")'

   4.  Open Terminal:

cd  /Applications/Adobe\ Illustrator\ CS6/Adobe\ Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS

chmod +x Adobe\ Illustrator

   5.  Now open AI again, you'll see it's running with Simplified Chinese UI.

Thanks eclipselu, You're such a genius, I wanna know how did you figure out to fix this problem. Is it that you asked the supporting staff of Adobe Service?

I got the same question about it, but I use traditional Chinese, this answer is for simplified Chinese,

and I tried to change language code from  "zh-Hans" to "zh-Hant", but it didn't work,

can anyone help me to solve the PARM problem?

thank you so much!!

I had the same question. Then I dig further and found an useful, small-and-free app called "Language Switcher"--which on macOS can launch selectively any app in available language settings.
