Maya can run in Japanese or Simplified Chinese on Windows and macOS if your operating system is running in either of those languages.
You can choose to run Maya in English on an operating system running in Japanese or Simplified Chinese by changing Maya's operating language.
If Japanese or Simplified Chinese Maya text files, such as .ma and .mel files, will be used on other platforms, you may need to convert them to the text encoding appropriate for the destination platform. For more information, see Prepare Maya files containing Japanese or Simplified Chinese text.
Maya only supports object names where each character is encoded as a single byte value, as with Latin-1 text encoding.
User preferences cannot be shared between user interfaces using different languages.
