Changing the compiler error language in Visual Studio 2013

Question

I installed the English version of Visual Studio 2013. The GUI is in English, but the compiler errors are in French. This is a nightmare when I want a Google bug ...

How can I switch the C # compiler output language to English?

Answer 1

You will need to switch the language standard of your system to English, control panel + language.

This is a fairly effective change, as it also changes the locale for every other program on your computer. One thing you can try (but I can't verify) is to destroy the localization file that the C # compiler uses for strings. On your computer, it should be in the directory c: \ windows \ microsoft.net \ framework \ v4.0.30319 \ 1036 \ cscui.dll. Rename the file so that the C # compiler cannot find it, and it is forced to return to, I hope, in English. By the way, I guessed in 1036, there are many French locations. Locale IDs are listed here .

Answer 2

Just solve the same problem with Deutsch :) Do this: inside Visual Studio:

Tools → Options → Environment → International Settings. There you need to download an additional language (for example, English) and install it.

Answer 3

I decided that too. Switching the language in the IDE did not work for me, because if the MS compiler was called from another program (Qt Creator in my case), the language output was still in the locale language.

Solution: Remove the language you do not want from Visual Studio using the installation tool and leave only English. It is clean, you do not need to bother with internal files, and you even save disk space.
