I just downloaded Visual Studio for Mac after I read it went GA. When I run the package to start the install, the installation interface shows up in Spanish instead of English.

1. Visual Studio Code ships by default with English as the display language and other languages rely on Language Pack extensions available from the Marketplace. VS Code detects the operating system's UI language and will prompt you to install the appropriate Language Pack, if available on the Marketplace.
2. Change language of Visual Studio 2017 RC. Hi, thanks for reporting that the download link sends you to the wrong place. I will file a bug for us to take care of that. Polish-> English (VS on MAC) answer: When I started a project and was forced to download Visual Studio, went to their page and saw that Microsoft logo I knew there would.

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 RC, and by default it set language to my system language (Polish) so I was trying to change it to EN but in Options > Environment > International Settings i have only Polish language. There is link to 'download more languages', and it redirects to: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/And there I can only find language packs for VS 15.Anyone know where I can find EN language pack for VS 17 RC?

You can only install a language pack at install time in VS 2017 RC. To install RC with a different language:

1. Open the Visual Studio Installer.
2. Find an addition under 'Available' and click Install
3. Click on the 'Language packs' tab and select a language

You can have multiple instances of VS 2017 side by side so this shouldn't interfere with your other installation.

Disclosure: I work on Visual Studio at Microsoft.

1. Go to Tools ->Options
2. Select International Settings in Environment and on the right side of a screen you should see a combo with the list of installed language packages. (so in my case Czech, English and same as on MS Windows )
3. Click on Ok

You have to restart Visual Studio to see the change...

If you are polish (and got polish language settings)

1. Narzędzia ->Opcje
2. Ustawienia międzynarodowe in Środowisko

Hope this helps! Have a great time in Poland!

This should solve it:

1. Open the Visual Studio Installer.
   
2. Click on the Modify Button.
   
3. Choose the Language Pack tab on top left.
   
4. Check the language you need and click on the Modify Button at bottom right.

You need reinstall VS.

Language Pack Support in Visual Studio 2017 RC

Issue:

This release of Visual Studio supports only a single language pack for the user interface. You cannot install two languages for the user interface in the same instance of Visual Studio. In addition, you must select the language of Visual Studio during the initial install, and cannot change it during Modify.

Workaround:

These are known issues that will be fixed in an upcoming release. To change the language in this release, you can uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.

In RC2 (and most likely in the final release) you can switch language from inside Visual Studio and you can modify your setup to include other language packs.

You can now add and remove multiple user interface languages at any time using the Visual Studio installer on the Language Pack tab. You can select the current user interface language among those installed using Tools > Options > International Settings.

Baidu Browser English Mac

Polish-> English (VS on MAC) answer:When I started a project and was forced to download Visual Studio, went to their page and saw that Microsoft logo I knew there would be problems... And here it is. It occurred difficult to change the language of VS on Mac. My OS is purely English and only because of the fact I downloaded it using a browser with Polish set as a default language I got the wrong version. I had to reinstall the version to the newest and then Visual Studio Community -> Preferences(in the environment section) -> Visual Style-> User Interface Language.

It translates to polish: Visual Studio Community -> Preferencje -> Styl Wizualny w sekcji Środowisko -> Język interfejsu użytkownika -> English.

If you don't see such an option then, as I was, you are forced to upgrade this crappy VS to the newest version.
