Change "header files" (folder name) from Chinese to English in Visual Studio 2017


Hi completely vs and c++ beginner here.

The project was made in a "chinese working environment", thus you can see the "header files, source files, and resource files" are all in chinese after I loaded it in my "english working environment". Is there any way I can make them English? Or I can just manually change them?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Either within the IDE: right-click each folder name, select Rename from the context menu, and enter any name you prefer, including the default English name.

    Or outside the IDE: close the project in Visual Studio, edit the .vcxproj.filters file in the project root (using a UTF-8 aware text editor), and replace the ... on the <Filter Include="..."> lines with the names you want.
