Troubleshooting common issues
- Missing translated strings: verify the correct language pack build matches your AutoCAD update level; reinstall matching service packs.
- Third-party UI still in original language: check for localized versions from the vendor or run the plugin in its native language.
- Corrupt profile after switching: restore your backed-up profile or recreate a clean profile, then import custom elements.
- Licensing prompts or activation issues after switching languages: ensure your serial/license applies to the installed AutoCAD 2016 and that network licenses are reachable.
