Friendly Reminder:

1. Versions of MATLAB before 2014 do not come with a Chinese language pack, and the user interface language cannot be switched directly through “Settings”;

2. To switch between Chinese and English interfaces in MATLAB 2014, you need to create a new environment variable and restart your computer:

[Variable Name] MWLOCALE_TRANSLATED

[Variable Value] OFF or ON (OFF for English, ON for Chinese)
