    Maybe someone will help my workaround:

    1. Add English language to Visual Studio 2017 (vs_installer).
    2. Run "devenv /LCID 1033" for SQL projects and "devenv /LCID <your locale>" for other projects.
    3. Enjoy! )))

    Please try running devenv.exe /setup from a Developer Command prompt and see if this mitigates the issue.
