Change language of Visual Studio 2017 RC
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:
- Open the Visual Studio Installer.
- Find an addition under "Available" and click Install
- 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.
- Go to Tools -> Options
- 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 )
- Click on Ok
You have to restart Visual Studio to see the change...
If you are polish (and got polish language settings)
- Narzędzia -> Opcje
- Ustawienia międzynarodowe in Środowisko
Hope this helps! Have a great time in Poland!
This should solve it:
- Open the Visual Studio Installer.
- Click on the Modify Button.
- Choose the Language Pack tab on top left.
- 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.
