Language Packs
- AutoCAD Electrical does not support running a specific language product on a different language operating system. For example, running a Simplified Chinese AutoCAD Electrical on English operating system will not function properly and is not a supported configuration. In some cases this might work when the languages are similar. English AutoCAD Electrical works well on any language operating system.
