Title: Edgecam 2015 R2 Language Pack: Installation & Compatibility Notes

❌ Cons

  • Incomplete translations – A few advanced dialogs (e.g., custom cycles, macro editor) may remain partially in English, especially in less-common languages.
  • No help file translation – The built-in help (CHM/PDF) often stays in English, so users still need English reading skills for troubleshooting.
  • Outdated for newer Windows – On Windows 10/11 (especially 64-bit), some language resources may not display correctly without compatibility mode.
  • Installation quirk – Requires exact Edgecam 2015 R2 base version; applying to R1 or an earlier SP can cause UI glitches or crashes.
  • No longer supported – Hexagon (now part of Vero Software) dropped support for 2015 R2 years ago. No updates for new OS or antivirus conflicts.
  • Mixed language output – Generated CNC code remains in English (G-code comments may be localized, but not consistently).

Licensing & Support

  • Language packs are typically covered under the same support agreement as Edgecam or offered separately by the vendor/reseller.
  • For official updates, patches, or reissued language packs, contact your Edgecam reseller or Hexagon/Edgecam support channel.
