Change language in AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

I'm using LT 2015 64 bits in French and I would like to switch my version to the english version. Installing the language pack was not the solution because the commands introduced with the keyboards are still in french. So I guess I have to uninstall the French version and then install the Eng version. Is my actual serial n° usable when I will be reinstalling the product in english ? Best regards, Nicolas Parent.

Hi,

>> I'm using LT 2015 64 bits in French and I would like to switch my version to the english version

And landed in the German user forum 😉

Anyway: please don't post serial numbers in public forums.

And the answer: you can install a language pack for your AutoCAD from that source: >>>click<<<

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Community!

Start by adding English in Windows (if you haven't already)

Next, download the English Language pack and install it. If that doesn't work let me know.

Hi, Thank you Alfred and John for your answers and for your good care (regarding my serial n°). I already installed the english language pack. The bars, menus... are indead in english now but the commands line (and keyboards shorcuts) are still in french. For exemple: when I try to remove something when using the stretch function, I have to use the "S" key for "Supprimer" and not "R" for "Remove". Best regards, Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, can you paste here your command line dialog with your Stretch command example please? Thanks.

This is my dialog in a french AutoCAD:

Commande: _stretch
Choix des objets à étirer par fenêtre de capture ou polygone...
Sélectionner des objets: Spécifiez le coin opposé: 1 trouvé(s)
Sélectionner des objets: S
Supprimer les objets:

This is the same thing in an english AutoCAD:

Command: _stretch
Select objects to stretch by crossing-window or crossing-polygon...
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found
Select objects: R
Remove objects:

Hi Patrick, I know that it's normal but I want my Autocad to be in english to use the english keys (just like on my other workstation) Nicolas

Hi @Anonymous,

I found this old thread and realized that your question was not resolved.

I assume you installed the English Language pack.  Did you also try to change the Properties of your desktop shortcut for AutoCAD  with -lang en-US?

I did this in my AutoCAD with installing the Italian language pack and then setting the language switch on the desktop shortcut.

You can also access English commands if you type an underscore in front of the command).

i really would like to meet the genius who decided to translate commands for every language version. That person is probably singlehandedly responsible for uncountable wasted man-hours. I know, i've spent at least several hours of my life trying to find command translations between different languages after finding a solution for something in English. We might've already been colonising Mars b then if it weren't for him.
