All versions of Adobe Dreamweaver are designed with one native language. When you purchase the software, you purchase it with only one language option. Although users cannot change the language of Dreamweaver tools, menus, toolbars and buttons, they can change the editing language using the spelling dictionary to create multilingual web pages. Dreamweaver installs several language dictionaries by default, including Dutch, French, Italian, German, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.
