How to change UI language in Visual Studio Code?

See "Display Language" https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/locales

I had trouble with this and the answer from Eric Bole-Feysot did not help as it is missing an important step.

1. Open VS Code
2. Press F1
3. Type "configure display language"
4. Select "configure display language" from the options displayed beneath the inputbox
5. Change JSON to

"locale": "en-US"

6. Close window and be prompted to save.
7. Re-start VS code

Hope that helps.

How do i implement intellisense for my language in visual studio?

This is a good place to look for Visual Studio Extensibility.

Also, here. But, the first link has a video specific to adding Intellisense to your language service.

Change language of Visual Studio 2017 RC

You can only install a language pack at install time in VS 2017 RC. To install RC with a different language:

1. Open the Visual Studio Installer.
2. Find an addition under "Available" and click Install
3. Click on the "Language packs" tab and select a language

You can have multiple instances of VS 2017 side by side so this shouldn't interfere with your other installation.

Disclosure: I work on Visual Studio at Microsoft.
