    Change the language setting

    Lightroom can display menus, options, and tool tips in multiple languages.

    1. Do one of the following:

      • (Windows) In Lightroom, choose Edit > Preferences and click the General tab. Then, choose a language from the Language pop-up menu and click OK.

      • (Mac OS) In System Preferences, click International. In the Language panel, drag the desired language to the top of the Languages list.

        (Mac OS) To see which languages are available for your version of Lightroom, select Adobe Lightroom 2 in the Applications folder. Then choose File > Get Info, and click the triangle next to Languages.
    2. Restart Lightroom.

    The new language takes effect the next time you start Lightroom.
