Visual Studio 2013 crash when I attempt to change the Design Language

Question

I have a localized Windows Forms application. When I attempt to change the Design Language from German to anything else Studio hangs. Where is this setting persisted so I can manually edit the setting outside of Studio? This is in VS 2013.

Hi AliciaV,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Could you share us a screen shot about the settings where you change the design language? Do you mean that you change it under the TOOLS->Options like the following screen shot?
We often change the default language like the above screen shot.

If so, the real issue we need to check is that why the VS crash.
To make sure that whether it is your Environment issue or the VS IDE issue:
Please run your VS in safe mode, check it again.

Please run your VS as the admin.
Please also close other processes or third party tools in your windows, and make sure that your task manager is free. Remove/disable all add-ins in your VS IDE.
Please also install the VS2013 Update 2.
In addition, you also need to make sure that you installed the specific language package:
