VEGAS Pro 23 only installs in Portuguese (no language selection) – nee

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased VEGAS Pro Suite 23 and I’m running into a problem with the installer.
When I download the program from my account, the provided Download Manager is named:

vegasprosuite23_dlm_br_ft4l9x.exe

Notice the br in the file name — this package forces the installation in Portuguese (Brazil). Unlike other MAGIX/VEGAS products in the suite (for example, ACID, Sound Forge, and included plugins), VEGAS Pro 23 does not show a language selection screen during installation. It skips directly into Portuguese UI.

This creates multiple problems for me:

My native language is Portuguese, but I always work in English for technical/production reasons. All tutorials, workflows, scripts, and terminology I use are in English.

Having VEGAS Pro 23 in Portuguese creates confusion in my workflow, since terminology does not match.

Even worse, the Portuguese translation in VEGAS Pro 23 is inconsistent — in some menus I even see French words mixed in, which makes things even more confusing.

I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch, but the installer always forces PT-BR. For the other products (ACID, Sound Forge, etc.) I can select English during install, no issue.

My questions:

Is there a way to force the VEGAS Pro 23 installer into English (command line parameter, registry setting, or a different installer package)?

Does anyone know how to download the international / multilanguage DLM (usually marked DE-EN-FR-ES) instead of the _br_ package?

Could this be some kind of region-lock tied to my license/account?

I would highly appreciate if anyone has a workaround, direct link, or confirmation if the license is actually region-locked.
I believe this topic might help other users in the same situation, since not everyone wants to run VEGAS in Portuguese just because of the regional download.

Thanks in advance!

I think it maybe a region lock as others from Brazil have reported the same.

@Rivas como amigo acima citou a minha postagem onde reportei e busquei soluções... tive o mesmo problema. Como passou do prazo de devolução sou OBRIGADO a usar em portugues.
Porem você após a compra possui 14 dias para devolver o produto. Entre em contato com o suporte de vendas, peça reembolso e assim que tiver o dinheiro novamente, compre pelo site com final US ( https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro ).
