Why we like it

At 6.1 KB, B3D UI Language Loop earns its place in the Blender extensions library by handling one specific job: switching the interface language fast. Its single shortcut makes it easy to fold into a learning routine.

What is B3D UI Language Loop?

B3D UI Language Loop is a Blender add-on for switching the interface language quickly. It is designed for non-English speakers who, while learning Blender, often follow tutorials recorded in various languages. The tool lets them cycle the UI language rapidly to keep up with whatever they are watching.

Language switching runs through a single keyboard shortcut, Ctrl + Alt + Shift + T. After the add-on is enabled, pressing that combination cycles Blender's interface language, so matching your UI to a tutorial takes a keystroke.

The add-on is a single Python file, b3d-ui-langloop.py, that you install through Blender's Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install menu, by drag and drop, or from disk. At 6.1 KB it is compact, requires no special permissions, and works with Blender 5.0 and newer. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does B3D UI Language Loop support?

B3D UI Language Loop is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, so it targets the current generation of Blender releases rather than older ones. If you run a version below 5.0, the add-on will not be available to you, and you would need to update Blender first. The extension is small at 6.1 KB, so downloading and enabling it adds little overhead once you are on a supported version. Check the developer's page for the latest details before installing.

How do I install B3D UI Language Loop in Blender?

B3D UI Language Loop installs like a standard Blender add-on. Download the b3d-ui-langloop.py file, then open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install to add it. You can also drag and drop the file into Blender, or install it from disk if you prefer. The whole package is only 6.1 KB, so the process is quick, and it requires no special permissions once enabled inside Blender's preferences.

What keyboard shortcut does B3D UI Language Loop use?

B3D UI Language Loop uses the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + T shortcut to switch the interface language. After you install and enable the add-on, pressing that combination cycles Blender's UI language, letting you move between languages quickly while you work. This is the core function of the tool, aimed at users who follow tutorials recorded in different languages and need to match their interface to what they are watching. The shortcut is the main way to trigger the language switch.

Is B3D UI Language Loop free, and what license does it use?

B3D UI Language Loop is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which governs how the code can be used and shared. For the most current licensing terms, download options, and any conditions, check the developer's page on GitHub. The add-on also requires no special permissions, so enabling it does not grant it access beyond normal add-on behaviour within Blender.
