I installed Brackets 1.11 build 1.11.0-17524 (release 86b5e2d4e) and the language was some gibberish.
I tried changing the language from debug menu as pointed out by others but no luck.
OS - Ubuntu 17.10

Please help!

Known issue at #13738, please look at #13731 for resolution.
In essence, to solve it please install libpangoft2-1.0-0 <= 1.40.5 or unpack the libs from the package to path of Brackets installation.

Installing the package isn't helping. Its already a new version.
Even the threads #13738 and #13731 couldn't help.

Whoops, typo.
What I meant is you need to downgrade the package to be at least version 1.40.5 or older, because the newer versions remove a function which CEF uses for rendering the menus.

Well!
Sorry to bother.
But how do I downgrade the libpangoft2-1.0.1 (1.40.12-1) to earlier version.
OS- Ubuntu 17.10

Ubuntu unfortunately deletes old versions of packages from its repositories, so you'll need to either find an old package, wait for brackets 1.12 where a workaround is going to be implemented, or compile from source.
If you choose to compile from source, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git
sudo apt-get build-dep libpangoft2-1.0-0
git clone git://git.gnome.org/pango
cd pango
./configure --prefix=<PATH_TO_BRACKETS (i.e. /opt/brackets/)>
make
make install

Last step may require using sudo, depending on method and path of your installation.
