After installing the language pack, AutoCAD will not automatically switch languages. You must change the Windows System Variable to point to the new language pack.

Method 1: Using the Desktop Shortcut (If created) Some language packs create a new desktop shortcut (e.g., "AutoCAD 2021 - Spanish"). Simply double-click this shortcut to launch in that language.

Method 2: Changing the Target Path (Manual) If no shortcut was created, you can modify your existing AutoCAD shortcut:

  • Click Apply and OK.
  • Launch AutoCAD using this shortcut.
  • (Note: You can create multiple copies of the shortcut with different language codes to switch back and forth easily.)

This is useful for users who need to run the software in a language different from the one selected during the initial installation, or for multinational teams sharing workstations.
