About languages and language packs

There are several ways to install languages for your products:

  • Language drop-down menu. Some products let you select a language at installation time from the Product Language drop-down menu in the installer. If the language you want is not in this menu, you can install a language pack for it later.
  • Note: Each suite installation uses a single language. To specify a different language for one or more suite products, install them separately, in another installation. Not all products in a suite support every language. If you select a language that some suite products don't support, those products use a default language.
  • Language packs. A language pack is a software module that changes the language of the user interface and the documentation. With a language pack, a single installed product can support several languages. You can then switch from one language to another. Language packs for most products are available from the Products & Services page of Autodesk Account. If your product is on physical media, you can also find language packs there. You install them after you've installed the main product."
  • Note: For each language pack you install, there is a shortcut in the Windows Start menu or on the desktop, such as "Inventor - French (Francais). You can use the Windows Uninstall control panel to remove language packs without uninstalling the product. However, you can't uninstall the default language of the product you installed.
  • Language Exchange. You can also exchange a product for one that runs in a different language. The language exchange is free. However, you can use the product only in the country in which you registered your license.
  • Note: If you upgrade to a new product release, upgrade in the original language and then obtain a free language exchange again.
