Hi, all - On May 30th we updated the version of our installer on my.visualstudio.com, which should resolve this issue. Thanks for letting us know you were still having an issue! Please let me know if this is still a problem for you after re-downloading from visualstudio.com or via https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?pid=2278. Thanks for helping make Visual Studio for Mac a great product!

Installer defaulted to Chinese. Made it through the installer (in Chinese) with no errors. The VS application itself is in English.

I managed to make it through the installation (in Chinese) with no errors. The VS runs in English (thankfully!).

I'm happy to say that this issue is now fixed! Please download the updated installer from https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac and try again. Thanks to everyone who reported this issue.
