Having Problems with the Languages

Boas!
Eu realizei o download de sketchup em versão do Brasil/Português, mas quando instalei o programa ele ficou em Inglês… O que posso fazer??

Good(day)!

I realized download SketchUp version of Brazil / Portuguese, but when I installed the program it was in English … What can I do ??

Even if you have downloaded the correct language version, SketchUp will be in English if your operating system language is not the same as the SketchUp language version. There is a way to force the language by adding a command line switch to the shortcut you use to start SketchUp. The instructions are hiding somewhere in this forum…

So for you it would be:

INCORRECT - SEE CORRECTION, NEXT POST

"C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp.exe -lang=pt-BR"

You can modify the desktop shortcut “Target” field, to add the language parameter.

Old topic but since I struggled a lot myself to change the SU language I’ll share my results here.

The target field of the shortcut should actually NOT be:

but:

"C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp.exe" -lang=pt-BR

with the language parameter after the quotation mark.

The equal sign also seems to be optional.
