AutoCAD 2014 was no longer just a draftsman. He was a polyglot. He could open files from Osaka, Milan, and São Paulo without a single ???? in the text.

The Esperanto cursor vanished. The drawing corrupted. AutoCAD 2014 rebooted in safe mode, speaking only Global English again.

Advanced users can use the -lang switch in the shortcut properties (e.g., -lang en-US ) to force a specific language to load.
