Localization

The language used by Premiere Pro is decided by the user during installation.

Plug-ins can determine this setting from the following locations:

On Windows, in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Premiere Pro\[version], in a key named "Language".

On macOS, at ~/Library/Preferences/com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.[version].plist, at Root > Language.

The string will be set to one of the values below by Premiere Pro at startup.

Changing the string will not change the language Premiere Pro runs in, unless you override the application language by placing a file in the following location:

Windows: [App installation folder]\lang-override.txt

macOS: [App Installation folder]/[Premiere Pro application package]/Contents/lang-override.txt
