Users who often deal with images are wondering about changing the language in Photoshop to Russian or English.
Of course, even without that, it’s not so easy to work with one of the best and most professional image editors, because here you need to take into account various functions that may sound somehow different in Russian, but may not be understandable in a foreign language, which leads to additional inconvenience.

We'll look at how to change the program language below.

1. Define Photoshop version

To find out the version installed on your PC, do the following:
- launch the application and wait full launch to the main window;
- find the item “ Reference", or " Help" Most often it can be found on the right side of the main panel;
- Next you need to find the item “system information”;

-in this window a special field with information about the program assembly will be highlighted. The first line tells about the basic data of the program, its version number and individual assembly identifier. This data can be copied and pasted into a search engine to find out more information about installed version Photoshop.

Once the version of Photoshop has been found, you can begin changing the language.

2. Changing the language in Photoshop - all versions

Below are instructions for changing the language of all versions of Photoshop.

Photoshop CS1/CS2
Older versions of the image editor have a harder time changing the language than others. After all, the program's control panel does not include any tabs for controlling the interface language. At the stage of purchasing the program, the user had to indicate which assembly he needed, that is, with which language.

The first and second versions of Photoshop themselves reset these settings, which is a bug, but relevant to this day, since the developers called the assembly not relevant. Because of this, the program language from time to time becomes “English,” that is, the default language. To fix this bug, you need to find “photoshop” in the root folder.
Find the “Application Data/Adobe” directory and find the special .lng format files - by the way, they are responsible for the language and encoding this application. Find all the "en.lng" files and simply delete them from the folder; You should leave the “ru.lng” files, that is, those that relate to the Russian language.
It is best not to delete them forever, but temporarily, or simply move them to another location.

The actions described above must be performed while the program is in a disabled state. After the files have been deleted/moved, restart your computer and run Photoshop CS 2/1 again. Now, instead of English, the native Russian language should be automatically installed.

Photoshop CS3
Strange, but the easiest way to change the language included CS 3 - just uninstall and install Photoshop again. While the installation of Photoshop will take place anew, just turn the item to the language, select the desired one and install.
In order to change the language without reinstalling the program, you can find a crack for photoshop cs3 and install it, but this method can entail a lot various problems, Russifiers are not good, experienced users say.
Since such patches are not a product of an official manufacturer, no one is responsible for them. Often, Russifiers come into conflict with the antivirus, which means that in the future Photoshop will occasionally produce errors, “crash”, work poorly and, as a result, will not start.
But if you decide to install a crack patch, do it in the regular Photoshop folder Required. Afterwards you need to wait for the installation to complete and restart the computer.

Photoshop CS 4/CS 5
Already in CS 4 Photoshop, the language can be changed through the interface.
This is easy to do, find the tab “ Edit", after " Preferences", then " Interface"And in the "Language" tab, that is, the language, select Russian.

It happens that the settings do not take effect immediately; you should restart the program to update the program interface.

Photoshop CS 6
The newest and most popular modern Photoshop program CS 6.
In it, the problems of CS 1/2 have returned, and now, there is a possibility that after the new launch of the program, it will become English-language.

It may happen that the character encoding is broken and will be displayed incorrectly, or not displayed at all. And that is why it is necessary to change the language, so that the system updates the encoding and fixes its bugs. You need to act in the same way as in the paragraph above.
- Launch the program and wait until it is completely open;
- Find the tab " Edit»;
- Drag the cursor to the item " Preferences", and wait for the list to pop up;
- select “ Interface».

- In the window that appears, find the required field, which is responsible for displaying the text, and then configure the interface language, as shown below.

- Restart the program.

Photoshop CS 2014/2015
Language settings in CS 2014/2015 programs can also be changed as in the previous version. All language settings can be changed through the "Interface". To change the text display, restart the program.

If the language has been changed, but nothing has changed, try doing it again.

Login to " Task Manager", and then find it in Photoshop processes and complete it. Now try to run the program again, and most likely it will be in Russian.

3. Changing the language in Photoshop online

There are not many popular services on the World Wide Web that distribute Photoshop online, these services are: online-fotoshop.ru/ and editor.0lik.ru/photoshop-online. They are completely free, and you can perform actions on them without being registered.

The site itself can determine the browser language and, by referring to the language, it will change the interface in the program. But if this does not happen, you will have to change the language yourself. To do this, go to the “Edit” item, and then go to the “Language” tab, where you select the desired option.

On another site, Online Photoshop, use the same “Language” tab.

Photoshop can be installed in any language. It happens that inexperienced, novice users install Photoshop on English and then they can’t figure it out because they don’t know the language.

In fact, I would advise using English Photoshop, because it gives many advantages. But I will write about this later in this article.

And now I’ll tell you how to make Photoshop Russian if you have the English version.

With the first two methods you can do latest version Photoshop CC and CS 6 Russian. For CS6 you can download the crack.

How to make Photoshop CC and CS6 Russian

Method 1

First of all, check whether the Russian language is installed in your version; if installed, you can enable it. To do this, go to the menu Edit - Preferences - Interface and then in the window that opens, find UI Language. Select from the drop-down list Russian, if he is there.

The language in the program will change when you restart Photoshop.

Method 2

Remove Photoshop from your computer and install the Russian version; during installation, select the language - Russian.

Make sure you download the Photoshop installer with the Russian version.

Russifier for Photoshop CS6

Method 3

How to install crack on your Photoshop:

We look for the Lokales folder in the Photoshop folder. (It is usually located here C:/Program Files/Adobe/ Adobe Photoshop CS6/Locales). Delete all files and folders in this folder. Insert the ru_RU folder from the archive there. That's all! We use Russian Photoshop.

Why is it better to use English Photoshop?

Firstly, not all lessons on the Russian Internet are written with commands and functions translated into Russian. Yes, of course, on good sites the translation is duplicated into both languages, but not in all. In English-language resources, naturally, all lessons are in English. And English sites have the largest number and highest quality lessons about Photoshop.

The latest and useful information appears there, on bourgeois sites. Do you think you can read it without knowing English Photoshop?
The fact is that you can read and understand lessons in English about Photoshop without knowing English well. It will be enough to use English Photoshop, everything else will be understood intuitively. You will come across familiar commands and functions in English from Photoshop. This is from personal experience.

Secondly, when using Russian Photoshop you run the risk of misunderstandings and poor communication with other developers, for example with layout designers. Russian Photoshop is not popular among professionals.

Usually Russian Photoshop is poorly translated and therefore it will be difficult to explain to people. And knowing the English version of the program, you can easily work in Russian, if necessary.

Therefore, it is better to immediately start working in English Photoshop.

Get used to it and master it quickly, there is nothing complicated about it, and at the same time it will be a big plus for you in the future.

How to translate Photoshop into Russian and what to do if it doesn’t work. Photoshop is a very popular image processing program from Adobe. Moreover, not only photographers use it, but also ordinary people who want to correct themselves in photographs or try themselves as a designer. But it happens that the downloaded Photoshop is in English and working with such a program, especially for beginners, is completely inconvenient. Let's figure out how to fix the problem.

Adobe photoshop CC

The Photoshop SS version is the most complete and modern of the entire presented line of programs of this type.

If this method does not help, try removing the program from your computer and downloading the Russian version again. Don't forget to select Russian when the installation wizard prompts you to do so.

Adobe photoshop cs5

How to do Photoshop in Russian? Do not rush to be upset when you discover that the downloaded editor is full of English words. Most likely, translation is already built into the program, you just need to get to required settings and turn it on. Try to do this in the same way as in the method described above. Find the Edit field at the top, then select Preferences – Interface. We look for a window with the inscription Language and diligently try to find Russian among the list of missing languages. Next, click OK, close Photoshop, and then open the program again.

If this method does not help you, there is a fallback option:

download the crack for your version. To do this, you need to determine which modification of the program is installed on the computer;
We look for the Photoshop shortcut on the desktop, click on it right click mice. A menu appears in which you need to find the Properties line. In the window that opens, find the Details tab at the top and go there. You will see full information about the program, including the version. Well, then it’s a matter of technology;

We enter into any search engine a request like “download crack for Photoshop (and your version, for example, cs5). A search will return many sites where you can download the required file;
But that's not all. Now you need to unpack the downloaded .rar format crack using an archiver and move the ru_RU folder to the Locales directory. If you downloaded a file with the .exe extension, you don’t need to do anything, just run it and the program will do everything itself;
Then go through all the steps described at the beginning of this section again. Launch and use Photoshop in Russian.

By the way, a similar manual works successfully when you need to change the Photoshop language to some other one: Ukrainian, German, French.

How to translate Photoshop into Russian

In earlier versions of Photoshop (cs1\cs2), translation is more difficult to carry out. The settings panel does not contain any information for changing the language. The Russian version must be selected at the time of purchase of the program. But program code These versions contain a bug that causes the language to automatically switch to English. Let's try to fix this. Go to the Photoshop folder and find Application Data. It should contain files in .lng format. We delete those that have the name en.lng. We are launching the program again - now you can work with it in Russian.

Instructions

If you first installed the English version of the program, and then installed the localizer on top, you can use the following method. Launch Adobe Photoshop, click the menu item “Editing” > “Preferences” > General.” In the window that appears, select “Interface”, in the “Text Options” field user interface"Find the item "Interface language", specify "English" in it and click the "OK" button in the upper right corner of the menu. If you try to change this setting by initially setting the Russian language Adobe version Photoshop, then nothing will work: the only option in the “Interface language” setting will be only Russian. In this case, you can use another method.

Close the program and open Windows Explorer and go to the directory C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Locales\ru_RU\Support Files. Keep in mind that instead of the C drive and the CS5 version in your case, there may be other options, depending on where the program was installed and what its version is. Create a new folder in this directory, which you can give any name. In this case, leave the default name – “New Folder”.

Find the file called tw10428, it is responsible for the Russification of the program. Cut and paste it into the folder you just created: right-click on the file, select “Cut,” right-click on the folder icon and select “Paste.” Open Adobe Photoshop and enjoy the English interface. Keep in mind that in earlier versions of the program, for example in CS2, a similar operation will also have to be done with the tw12508 file. Together with tw10428, it will be located in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Required directory.

Please note

If you need to return the Russian language to the program, do the reverse: cut the tw10428 file from the “New Folder” and paste it again into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Locales\ru_RU\Support Files.

Some authors Adobe lessons Photoshop is more supportive of its readers and, along with mentioning the English names of buttons and commands, they also mention Russian ones. But what if not? I have to change the language in Photoshop to English.
