The VisualAPL installer 1.5.8060 is currently designed for Visual Studio 2008 using the 'US English' GUI.

The VisualAPL project templates are installed to the Visual Studio 2008 '...\1033\...' subdirectory and may not be visible in a version of Visual Studio 2008 for another language GUI.

See the message posted "Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:00 pm" which is part of this forum thread, that describes how to copy the VisualAPL project templates installed into the '1033' subdirectory to a different language-dependent subdirectory.

The default keyboard short cuts for the APL character glyphs are also designed for the 'US English' keyboard.

Depending on the level of interest of VisualAPL licensees, APLNext may develop support for Visual APL for Visual Studio 2008 in other language GUI's.
