Foxit PDF Editor provides the commonly used languages to meet customers’ needs to the upmost. Usually, Foxit PDF Editor will automatically choose the language applied to your OS as its default during your installation. But changing languages after installation is supportable. To change the UI language of Foxit PDF Editor, please go to File > Preferences > Languages, and select an option from the following:

  • Use system local language—Makes the system locale language the UI language.
  • Choose custom language—Selects your desired UI language from the list. (Tip: Foxit PDF Editor has been localized in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. You can click here to download the official multilingual version from Foxit website.)
  • Choose languages provided by the community—Selects the language translated by volunteers on Foxit multi-language translation system. A prompt message will pop up giving you a notice that you can get the UI language package on our website. In addition, you can also help us to do some translation so that we can localize Foxit PDF Editor into your own language. To visit our multi-language translation system, please click here.
