Localization of add-in (multilanguage)

Hi!

I created a multi-language Revit add-in as described under the AEC Post  "Localized applications for the Revit Exchange Store" (https://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2013/08/localized-applications-for-the-revit-exchange-store.html).

Now, I would like to test the add-in in all the languages that it supports.  The .addin manifest file, the application dll file, the resources folder and the languages folders ( f.example fr-FR) are all located under C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2020\. I added the LanguageType Tag (<LanguageType>French<\LanguageType>)  in the .addin file of the external application, so that it would force Revit to load the Resource of that language. But it doesn't work! It still load the add-in in the Revit language (in my case it-IT). Did I miss somethig? Any Ideas?

Thank you

Corinne

Accepted solution

I found that I just needed to modify the language of the UI of Revit. This is easily done following this procedure:

This might help someone else...
