Switching Inventor UI language with Language Packs.

You can change the language of the Autodesk Inventor 2013 user interface not only by installing a specific primary localized version but also by subsequent installations of "Language Packs".

These language packs are freely downloadable from www.autodesk.com/inventor-languagepacks. You can apply them on your existing (e.g. English) Inventor version to add one or more additional UI languages. The installation packages of the individual language packs have only cca 90MB each.

After you install a Language pack, the launch icon for the specific Inventor version is created automatically. This icon defines the UI language as a runstring parameter for Inventor.exe - e.g.:

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Bin\Inventor.exe" /language=DEU

The individual 3-letter language codes for the paramater "/language" are following:

English - ENU
German - DEU
French - FRA
Italian - ITA
Spanish - ESP
Japanese - JAP
Chinese (simplified) - CHS
Chinese (traditional) - CHT
Korean - KOR
Czech - CSY
Polish - POL
Russian - RUS
Portugese (brasilian) - PTB

So you can run a single Inventor installation even in multiple languages at the same time:
