Plug-in API broken in Lightroom Classic CC in many languages

[Boudewijn Pelt]

Many of my customers using the LrControl  plug-in report that it does not work with Lightroom Classic CC. I found that the problem is related to the selected interface language.

If you have English, German or Swedish as your language, Lightroom Classic CC works.

If you have any other language selected, like French or Spanish for example, Lightroom Classic CC does not respond to most commands to change develop parameter values.

Thanks to Boudewijn for this thread,

Hopefully Adobe fixes this bug quickly

Boudewijn,

Have you filed a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/categories/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightroom ? Adobe product developers don't participate in this forum.   The more you can narrow down the bug, the more likely Adobe will be to fix it. Ideally, provide a very short Lua script that can be run via the LR Scripts menu (the shorter the better), and include a description of the popularity of your plugin (external references would help).

I remembered a previous conversation with another developer in the LR SDK forum that immediately pointed to where the problem lies.   See details I posted to the bug report: Lightroom SDK: LrDevelopController broken in languages other than English, German, Swedish | Photosh...That post also contains a workaround. 

Please add details about your plugin and why it's important to get it fixed for your users.  Adobe generally doesn't pay much attention to SDK bugs unless they judge a large number of users are affected.

Please continue discussion in the bug report. Also, in the future, the LR SDK forum is the better place to post about such issues (and look for solutions).

Thanks Boudewijn for this!, I use Lightroom in Spanish language, and I have problems.

It is a sadness that adobe is launching programs without testing, not even launch applications in BETA versions, to alert users. On top we pay a membership which lately is giving us great headaches and fear every time a new update comes out.

And it´s a embarrassment that adobe  haven´t a good communication with the thirds programmers.

Regards
