Furthermore, some products may have limitations even when a language pack is available. For instance, AutoCAD Electrical 2023 does not officially support running a product in one language on an operating system that uses a different language (e.g. running Simplified Chinese AutoCAD Electrical on an English Windows system). The only configuration that is guaranteed to work reliably in all cases is to run the English version on any language operating system.
Compared to earlier releases, AutoCAD 2023’s language pack suite (covering 18 languages including Korean, Czech, and Turkish) showed incremental progress:
Look at your Windows Desktop. You will find a new icon named something like "AutoCAD 2023 - [Language]" (e.g., AutoCAD 2023 - Français ). Double-clicking this specific icon launches the localized interface.
AutoCAD 2023 introduced the LANGUAGE system variable to query the active pack, allowing conditional scripting (e.g., (if (= (getvar "LANGUAGE") "FRA") ... ) ). This is an elegant solution, but it places the burden of localization logic on the end user or IT department, not on Autodesk. For small firms without dedicated CAD developers, this makes multilingual collaboration prohibitively complex.
