#Adobe incopy cs6 trial install#
It still boggles my mind that in this day and age, we have to buy a plugin or install a second version of InDesign just to be able to typeset the occasional paragraph of Japanese. Ideally, I’d like to use the CJK version with an English UI because the non-CJK versions lack the UI for typesetting Asian languages. Right now I am using the US English versions on a German OS X (which comes with its own set of problems like some default shortcuts being impossible because of the keyboard layout, but it is much easier to google error messages and troubleshoot weird problems with an English version). Septemat 8:45 Changing the language preferences in the CC application to something like Spanish of French did not change the status to “Test” for me, it just displays an “Install” button, and clicking that seems to install another copy for each language version, not just a language pack. See the comments below for other methods for changing UI language. The Arabic, Greek, and Hebrew languages, in particular, were noted to be “unsupported” (they appear to work for me, but I don’t speak those languages, so I don’t know if it really is working or not). *One More NoteĪ little birdy at Adobe told me that I really should emphasize: This is not a supported or documented feature by Adobe! It’s a hack, and while it appears to work pretty well, Adobe (and me!) does not guarantee that it will work the way you want/expect. Check out the World Tools plug-ins for that. For example, if you change it to Japanese, you don’t get the additional CJK features (for typesetting vertically, etc.) if you change it to Hebrew or Arabic, you don’t get the right-to-left (RTL) features. Note, however, that changing the UI does not necessarily give you any additional features. I’m glad that it’s not too difficult to do now! But when I choose one, I get to see all the panels and features I’m used to!Ĭhanging the UI for InDesign is incredibly useful for many people. Notice that the workspace names are all in English on my system, and they are not translated above.
Now you’ll be able to choose a workspace from the little Workspace pop-up menu in the tiny Control panel: Change it to the same language code, and re-launch InDesign: The bigger problem you’ll notice is that your workspace pretty much disappears… no panels, no dock… it’s a very clean “zen-like” workspace, but it’s not very helpful to work in!įortunately, there’s a relatively easy solution: Change the name of another folder! Back in the application folder, look inside that Presets folder for another folder called InDesign Workspaces. More on that at InDesignSecrets before too long, I hope!) Major Workspace Problems (and an easy fix) (By the way, the Resources Panel feature you see here is a project I’m working on with some brilliant friends. There’s really nothing you can do about that. For example, here’s my Window menu, after changing to Chinese:Īlmost all the menu items are translated, but some aren’t. First, some menu items aren’t translated at all. You’ll see two problems when changing the UI language.

(You’ll also see some other problems, but I’ll tell you how to fix that in a moment.)īut what name should you give that folder? Here’s a list of a few I’ve tried (see note at end of blog post for the ones with an * ):
You’ll immediately see the language change.
Okay, ready for the trick? Change the name of that folder, then restart InDesign.
Because I use an American version of InDesign, the folder in there is called en_US. Open that, and you’ll find a folder with a cryptic name. Inside this folder is another folder called InDesign Shortcut Sets. In other words, on the Mac, open Applications > Adobe InDesign > Presets. To change the UI language, you need to first find the Presets folder, inside the application folder. There have been some script-based hacks around this UI language problem, but they stopped working in CS6.īut there is a way, it appears to work in both the CS6 and CC versions of InDesign, and it doesn’t even require a script. Unfortunately, Adobe has not made it easy to change the UI language. Changing the language of InDesign’s menus, dialog boxes, and panels has been important for thousands of users around the world for years - after all, if you need to use the English version of InDesign but you’re Swedish, you’re probably going to use it more efficiently if it’s in your native language!
