How to change the Project Explorer language (a different one from the Regional Config)

Valentino.Pergolesi — Tue, 30 May 2023 07:54:18 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'm facing an issue where the language in the Project Explorer matches the language set in the Windows Regional Configuration. This poses a problem for me because I prefer to keep my regional settings in Spanish while using Civil3D in English, as it is the language I work with.

I think that Project Explorer could help me a lot with the reports, but doing all the translation can be an endless work.

Is there a way to change this?

Hi @Valentino.Pergolesi

You want to know how to change the Project Explorer language to match Civil 3D ?

Solution:The Project Explorer uses the same language as set up in Windows Region Settings.

Open the Windows Region Settings and make sure you set up the desired language there

Open Civil 3D and the Project Explorer, use the "Reste" button at the bottom to change the language.
Restart Civil 3D if the language doesn't change after above step

Note:
Project Explorer is localized from version 2022, older versions are only available in English language.

Thanks for the help Joao-Rafael.

I saw before that solution that Autodesk provides. However, I still feel a bit uncomfortable having to change my Windows Regional Configuration in order to get the Preferecences and Layour in English. Anyway what I did is to set the Regional Configuration in english, opened the file, clicked on "Reset" and once I get the appropriate template for the reports, I save it.

After that you can change back the Windows setting to your desired language, and if the Project Explorer gets messed, the "load" the preset you saved before.

Thanks for you help anyway.

Very interesting, the solution you found !! I will use lol
I really see it as a deficiency that the main civil 3D plugins only have the default language in En.
