BIM Software Tips: Switching Between Chinese and English Versions of Revit
Sometimes, users need an English version of Revit for learning or work purposes, but they prefer not to reinstall the software.
Fortunately, there is a simple and convenient method to switch between Chinese and English versions of Revit without reinstalling. Keep in mind, this is a language exchange, not a full version change.
Note that this method only works if your current Revit installation is in Chinese. It does not apply if your Revit is originally installed in English.
Let’s dive into how you can implement this switch.
First, navigate to the Revit installation directory, typically located at XXXX.. Revit Architecture 20XXProgram. In this folder, locate the file named Revit.ini. Open it and find the following parameter:
__AI_T_SC_0_Select=CHS; Select=CHS
Change the value CHS to ENU, so the line reads:
__AI_T_SC_1_Select=ENU
Save the file and restart Revit. This will enable you to switch between the Chinese and English interfaces. To switch back to Chinese later, simply replace ENU with CHS in the same file.
