[Bug] Characters garbled when run Revit in other language on English Windows 10 (Revit 2020~2023)

[Bug]

When running Revit in other languages on English Windows 10, the setting options of the 'wall' function are garbled

Update:

It happens at 'New Project' dialog as well.

 

[Background]

As we know, Revit can be run in other language by change the shortcut as below.

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2023\Revit.exe" /language CHS

I would like it shows Chinese on my laptop but end up finding 'wall' command options(Depth/Height) cannot be displayed properly.

Please refer to the pictures below for detail.

 

It happens on Chinese/Japanese at least, but I guess it will appears on other Non-English language as well.

 

Update:

Thanks @ToanDN suggested me to change the language of Win10 to test, then I found it didn't work. . Now I think Revit set locale when installed. 

 

I think the issue is because the Windows display language of windows 10 is set to English but Revit is being showed in other language.

It happens on Revit 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Update@2022-09-15

Installed Revit2021 on Win10 with Chinese language, then switch Win10 to English, Revit shows correctly in Chinese. 

But When I run Revit in English by changing shortcut, the bug appears in a diffent way as below:

most of Revit menu is English except this place, it remains Chinese:

But 'wall' command is OK now

So far, I still think it's a bug that Revit does not intend to do so.

Ideally, all characters supposed to be switch to another lanuage correctly which is super handy!

Not 'Wrong' actually.
My list came from 'accounts.autodesk.com' as well.
If you noticed your list was the 'legacy/classic' one.

Your list is from Autodesk Desktop App.  It will not show every single program available.  You need to open your Autodesk account page from a web browser to get them.  And legacy/ classic is the interface, has nothing to do with the list.

Off course it does because that's how I found the Revit Multi-language installer .

Are you saying you already installed ML Revit and it doesn't work?  Install language specific versions then.

No I just found it using the Legacy list and downloaded it, but haven't get it installed yet.

A bit busy today and I don't really want to do too much on my new Win10.

I will try it later on another laptop.

 

For 'language specific versions', as I mentioned before, I have tried 2023 Chinese version on English Win10, no luck.

 

I suppose Revit set something according to the windows language/region during the installation and won't change it later.

Haven't tried multi language installer yet but tried to install Revit on win10 which has been set to display Chinese.

Revit correctly shows Chinese even after switched back to English.

 

But bug still there, please see details in my 1st post

You're not going to get a fix for your bug here.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Thanks for reminding, I believe Kimberly will help me on that.

 

It doesn't matter to me if it gets fix or not. If Revit cares, it will get fixed.

But I think Revit intends to get multi-language feature working perfectly as it's just an so amazing feature.

Fixed ‘New Project' dialog by manually changing the character at 'File'-'Option'-'File location' as below shows

The 'Height/depth' bug is still there
