Why we like it

Toggle Language earns a spot in the blender_extensions library for folding language switching and several routine one-click actions into single operations.

What is Toggle Language?

Toggle Language is a Blender add-on built around switching the interface between two languages with a single click, instead of repeatedly opening the preferences settings. It supports 17 languages and can be triggered by a hotkey.

Beyond language switching, the add-on bundles several other one-click actions. You can open user preferences (also hotkey-enabled), set up personal Blender settings, and switch the hint mode between default mode and developer mode. Two scene utilities round out the set: deleting all collections and objects in the current scene, and adding a video progress bar.

Toggle Language runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and installs by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender or downloading it and installing from disk. Version 1.6.2 is the current release.

Who is Toggle Language best for?

Toggle Language is best for blender users who regularly switch the interface between two languages and want single-click access to preferences plus a few routine scene actions.

How much does Toggle Language cost?

Toggle Language is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Toggle Language work with Blender 4.2?

Toggle Language is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so 4.2 is the minimum supported release. If you are running an older build, you would need to update Blender before installing the add-on. The listing shows version 1.6.2 as the current release, and the add-on does not require any special permissions in Blender. Once you are on a supported version, you can install it by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender or installing it from disk. For the latest release details and documentation, check the developer's page.

How do I install Toggle Language in Blender?

Toggle Language installs by dragging and dropping the add-on directly into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk through Blender's extensions interface. Both routes are supported, so you can pick whichever fits your setup. Once installed, the add-on's one-click operations become available, including the UI language toggle, quick access to user preferences, and the scene utilities. The extension does not require any special permissions in Blender. For step-by-step guidance, the developer's page links to a user manual and offline PDF documentation that cover the full feature set in more detail.

Can I use a hotkey to switch languages with Toggle Language?

Toggle Language supports a hotkey for its one-click UI language toggle, so you can switch between two languages without navigating menus or repeatedly opening the preferences settings. The command that opens user preferences also supports a hotkey, keeping the most frequent actions bound to keys. Version 1.6.2 added the add-on's keymaps, according to the changelog. This design aims to make routine switching quick rather than requiring repeated trips into Blender's preferences. For details on configuring keys, the developer's page links to a user manual and offline PDF documentation.

Is Toggle Language free, and what license does it use?

Toggle Language is listed as free here in the catalog. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it does not require any special permissions in Blender. For current licensing terms and any usage conditions, refer to the developer's page rather than relying on this listing alone. The add-on is authored and maintained by its developer, with source and issue tracking hosted on the project's GitHub. Version 1.6.2 is the release shown here, and the developer's page also links to a user manual and offline PDF documentation.
