Bro u rock it’s amazing i thought it’s not gonna be changed thanks man ! 🙂

You are awesome mam. Solved my problem within 2 mins.
Fabulous trick.
I tried to change the language but my Photoshop only has one “pt-BR” folder ie, I d’not have folders of other languages. What do I do?
(if you can leave a link where I can donwload the folder)
What language are you using ?
You Rock Brother.
My language problem got solved instantly.
“pt-BR” is probably Brazilian-Portuguese.
To change from Portuguese to English:
“Go to My Computer > C dirver > Program files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Locales > pt_BR >Support Files.
You rename tw10428.dat to tw10428.dat.old. New dialog box is opened, you click yes”

Thank you so so so much. It worked perfectly in less then 2 min. But you may tell that when you change the file name your computer may or may not ask you provide administrator permission. When I change the file name my computer did not ask me to provide administrator password. Don’t know why but it didn’t. I just changed the name and voila my photoshop is now in english. I am so happy loads and loads of thanks to you!!
Thank you so much Hanna
Mine says resource needed to load this language because mine only comes in chinese
Very very thanks to solve my problem I am really glad to you

Hallo Hanna, i am using Adobe Photoshop CS Imageready, looks like an old version and being trying to change the language following your post but has not been successful. To begin with the locales folder contains only one file en-US.bak. Also there are two Locales folders, one is .UNE and the other is .bak. There is one Resource folder but does not contain the locale folder. I have tried a few of the .dat files but still the same. Any ideas.
Thank you very much
I am just soooooo thankful, I have been stuck with this extended version for so long thinking it was not possible to change the language, thank you so much,

I think you reversed step 1 and 2. I mean if you close photoshop, you can’t check the preferences.
