- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Modifying the application's display language to Japanese for localization or personal preference.
- Observed behavior
- The application interface currently displays in English and needs to be updated to display in Japanese.

Change Display Language via Acrobat Preferences
Modify the language settings directly through Adobe Acrobat's preferences menu to switch the application interface to Japanese.
This method applies to standard desktop versions of Adobe Acrobat. If the language does not appear, you may need to install additional language packs via your Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
Launch Adobe Acrobat on your desktop. Go to 'Edit' > 'Preferences' if you are using Windows, or 'Acrobat' > 'Preferences' if you are on a Mac.
In the left-hand pane of the Preferences window, scroll down and select 'Language' from the list of categories.
Under the 'Application Language' section, select 'Choose at application startup' or directly pick 'Japanese' from the dropdown menu.
Click 'OK' to save your changes and completely close Adobe Acrobat. Relaunch the application, and if prompted at startup, select Japanese.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing the interface language in Adobe Acrobat translate the text inside my PDF?
No, changing the application language settings only affects the software's user interface (such as menus, buttons, and dialog boxes). It does not automatically translate the actual text content within your PDF documents.
Why is Japanese missing from the language dropdown in Adobe Acrobat?
If Japanese is not listed, your current installation likely does not include the necessary language pack. You will need to open the Creative Cloud desktop app, navigate to the application settings, change the default install language to include Japanese, and reinstall the application.
Can I easily switch back to English after changing my settings to Japanese?
Yes. You can revert to English at any time by navigating back to the Language preferences (Edit > Preferences > Language), selecting English or 'Choose at application startup' from the Application Language dropdown, and restarting Acrobat.
