How I managed to make Photoshop go from Japanese to English, finally.

I have installed the CS3 suite on two computers, home office and office office. On first attempt, the latter installed with Photoshop and Illustrator turning (up in) Japanese. Slightly magic, since I have studied that language a little earlier out of curiosity and I am a kind of 'fan' so it could be a hint to pick those studies up again - no? Nevertheless I will not be good enough in a long while if ever to actually use an app in that language ;). Also, AE could not locate a bunch of its plugins on every startup; very annoying. Various attempts at de-install and re-installments did not work, and Adobe telephone support (Nordic) just put me on everlasting hold (and "send a fax" which was never answered). I recently changed disk and of course re-installed Windows (XP PRO SP3), and installed CS3 suite as the first apps. Photoshop and Illustrator opened ... in Japanese! From previous experiences I've learned that chipset drivers and even graphic card drivers could mess up such issues. On my home office computer CS3 worked fine, and both computers use nForce chipsets... Even more hair pulling ahead? The solution:
I 'fooled' my computer into thinking it was in the US with a US layout keyboard. Re-installed CS3 suite, checked that the offending apps now opened in ... english, changed back to my actual local settings and checked again. For now at least, everything is fine.
I did not need to do this on my home office computers which has XP Home, but it is a thing to consider. This is a US product made and tested by US developers on computers using US settings, so by taking that identity for a while, perhaps some installation problems can be solved. Good luck to everyone!

Hello mikromidas, I have a similar problem, my computer is running on a japanese windows XP, all the english applications I have installed come up in English, but After effects keeps coming up in Japanese. I think I need to "fool" my computer just as you did, but I don't know where to start.... could you please tell me in more detail how to "fool" the computer? thanks a lot!
Loic

  • How do i copy a photoshop folder from my Imac including keywords to my Macbook computer with photoshop on it to take it on a trip

    how do i copy a photoshop folder from my Imac including keywords to my Macbook computer with photoshop on it to take it on a trip

    I do not use a mac. If you are referring to Image files and metadata. Metadata may be in the image file or in sidecar files in the the same folder. It may depend on how you have set some of Adobe setting.  Bridge may have some metadata is its cache and users system data areas. ACR may store it information in an ACR database rather then sidecar files.  If you use Lightroom metadata is most likely in its library databases.
    Photoshop has many folders.   Users images are in your user id folders of perhaps in lightroom's library not in  Adobe  Photoshop folders. I do not use Lightroom.   What exactly are you referring to when you wrote "a Photoshop Folder"?

  • How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

    How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?  Sorry if this is a newbie question.  I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX.  Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video.  Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

    Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
    To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

  • How to change the language of CS6 from Chinese to English?

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    How to change the language of CS6 from Chinese to English?
    Please give me advice.
    Many thanks,
    Eddie

    Language depends on what version of license you've bought. If you've bought a 'Chinese' license, you're stuck with 'Mandarin' or 'Cantonese' UI language.
    If you purchased a Multi-lingual license (which I doubt they sell these days) and if you did install the 'optional language packs' when installing Photoshop, go to Photoshop Preferences (Edit > Preferences in Windows, Photoshop > Preferences in Mac) > Interface > UI Language - change here.
    Also, keep in mind that if you do change the language with multi-language installation or change your locale, Photoshop may ask you to re-enter and re-activate your license.

    restart your computer
    open your cc app, click settings>preferences>apps>change langauge to english if it's not already.  close preferences then download and install via the cc app.

  • How to manage workflow of a content from Webcenter?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to manage the UCM content workflow from Webcenter portal ?
    We are aware of the Components like Document Explorer, Document Manager, etc. But none of this seems to provide the workflow functionality (approve/reject etc) by default.
    Would this be possible by doing customization to any OOB component ?
    Regards,
    Shalin

    Hi Shalin,
    You can use Workflow Queue Portlet part of Oracle Content Portlet Suite (CPS). We have successfully use in Spaces 11GPS4.
    Following deployment guide explain you how to install CPS portlets:-
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10637/c05_portlets.htm#i1090949
    Following user guide explain you how to use in WebCenter:-
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10149/content_workflow.htm#WCSUG8483
    The only limitation we found with this portlet is that you can't assign workflow to a group/role.

  • How do you guys transfer photoshop cs6 from old laptop to new one?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to transfer photoshop cs6 from my old macbook to new one.
    I tried to do it through using migration, but it doesn't work.
    Is there a better solution? or do I need to buy new one ?

    Migration does not work well with Adobe programs. Deactivate it on your old machine. Then use the Creative Cloud Cleaner on the new machine to get rid of the unsuccessfully migrated software.  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    Then do a complete new install on the new machine, and activate it.
