Unfortunately I instaled SketchUp and it comes in Portuguese.
How do I change to English?
I download today SketchUp Make 2015 German version because i had first the english version on my iMAC.
My problem is, i try to instal Sketchup German version but after each installation Sketchup is in English and not in German. I looks like that the download file is in English and not in German. I use the free version.
Before I start with the installation, i remove the english version with AppCleaner. After the first installation with the german version i remove manually all files following the instruction on Sketchup website. Can someone help me to get the German version on my iMac.
Sorry for my bad english.
if the locale setting of the operating system is configured to English this may lead the German SU version to fallback and run as English version too.
Today i found also the solution. I life in Netherland and my OS is on dutch language. When i change to german language, sketchup is then in german. I have the same problems with my mobile phone. Is there a possibility to use Sketchup in german if the OS is working on a different language?
you can add a command line parameter for launching SU in German by right clicking the SU icon and editing the properties of the destination link by adding a “/Sketchup.exe -lang de”.
does work only if the appropriate SU language directory is available: “/resources/de/”

I installed the software in english and later ai change my mind an tryed to change the language from english to portuguese. It was no possible. So what I have done to fixed the problem was the following:
1 - Re install the sketchup up in Portuguese (it doesnt gave me any change at all. At this point it was still running in English);
2 - Go to the folder “program files/SketchUp 2016/resources”
3 - open the folder “en-US”, than I copy its content to a new folder;
4 - open the folder “pt-br” than copy its contents to the folder “en-US”
5 - close all and Start the Sketchup by its icon.
it is possible (see above) with the Portuguese version without the need for copying language ressources.

Don’t do this. Especially if you haven’t launched the program and then go mucking with internal resources - Apple will make the program unlaunchable. Switch your language and locale for the system, and it will pick it up.

He’s PC user…
Not a MACee.
However, what you have said stands in principle.
Change system settings, don’t mess with resources…

Solo elimina la carpeta.
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2021\resources
y deja la carpeta EN-US o segun sea el caso.
