If you are an IT manager rolling out AutoCAD 2023 to an international team, follow this checklist:

He reopened AutoCAD 2023. In the options menu, under “Display Language,” a new entry had appeared: “Русский (Russian).” He selected it. The interface flickered, menus shifting to Cyrillic for a moment—but more importantly, he reopened the client’s file.

Go to the Start Menu, find the AutoCAD 2023 folder, and select the language-specific application shortcut.

Unlike conventional software language packs that merely swap menu strings, the AutoCAD 2023 Language Pack operates at a deeper system level. It replaces not only dialog boxes and ribbon tabs but also the underlying command aliases (the _.line command remains universal, but tooltips and prompt responses change). Crucially, the pack includes localized versions of core libraries: the , ObjectARX bindings, and LISP functions. For example, a French-language pack does not simply rename “Layer” to “Calque”; it ensures that system variables like CELTSCALE still respond predictably while the Properties palette displays localized unit formats (e.g., decimal comma versus decimal point).
