  Language Swap with Snow Leopard

  Posted by Sven Meyer on October 22, 2009 at 8:53 am

  Hi everyone,

  since the option to change the language of apps in Snow Leopard is disabled (by clicking information -> language) I’m running into some trouble. I got a german CS4 Pack and where used to use AE in english. Besides the ugliness of the german language in an application, I’m not able to use effect-presets anymore that call the effects in english.

  I tried this little app: https://www.tj-hd.co.uk/en-gb/languageswitcher/ but it doesn’t seem to work.

  Any ideas on this would be appreciated…thanks!

  I believe that the language options in the OS mainly just control the language that OS related things are in. Application still need to support different languages.

  I’m betting the issue is you software does not support multiple languages.

  There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
  Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

  Hi Zane,

  After Effects CS4 definitely support multi-language – I used it with Mac OS Leopard all the time.

  Cheers

  just found out how to change language in cs4 in osx 10.6.2:

  Rightclick ae app and go to: Resources/AMTLanguages/

  there should be a txt file like de_DE.txt

  Doubleclick on this

  there is some content like de_DE

  change the content to en_US

  Save this as en_US.txt at the same place (ae.app/Resources/AMTLanguages/)

  delete the de_DE.txt ore store it somewhere

  ae starts in english now.
