I am in Japan, native English user, require InDesign, but it automatically downloads in Japanese. This is unnacceptable. How do I work around this? Also, first off, I am using the free trial. If I have to redownload or do other workarounds to get the English version, is my "first" free trial nullified? I don't have time to see this through to the probably result of being screwed.

I'm in Japan and could install English version with the way of Cari Jansen's, but I don't recommend it.

Japanese version InDesign has all functions of English version plus many unique functions for Japanese language.

So you should try changing UI language to English. It's very easy.

Thank you for this.

Actually, I believe I tried this when I had this same problem about a year (seems like I forgot how troublesome this is; looks like I swore off Adobe products at that time, but I am forced to use them again).

At that time, I renamed the folders and tried this hack, but it took a lot of time, and it didn't work. I might try again, but I am now focused on the project at hand, using the Japanese version, because I am under time constraints.

Why we have to "hack" our program, which many people such as me would have spent money on (luckily I haven't wasted the money), is beyond me. I thought Adobe would be smarter. After a year since I had the same problem and thus swearing off the product, they still haven't considered fixing this?

I thank everyone for their time. For future replies, unless someone from Adobe chimes in with an English-version download link, I might not be following this thread any longer. I am not very interested in "hacking" or using extensive workarounds on a product that should provide me with what I need from the start, if I have to pay for it.

But Subi Omu, I appreciate your help.

Thank you again everyone for your time.

I agree. this hack means CC products have built-in UI with some languages, but we have only an unofficial way to control them. Adobe should fix the problem.

Ganbatte!

hi there,

You might have to uninstall the currently installed (Japanese) localisation first, then install the English version, as otherwise you'd end up with two language versions of InDesign on your system.

Here's how you uninstall and install the correct language version.

A. Uninstall Japanese Localisation first

  1. In the Creative Cloud Desktop application, locate (under Apps) InDesign CC (2015),
  2. When you move your cursor over InDesign a gear icon appears to the left of the open button.
  3. Click it then choose Uninstall... follow the prompts to uninstall...

B. Install English Version

  1. Before you do ANY installing you must set the language version to install.
  2. In the Creative Cloud Desktop application, locate the gear icon in the top-right.
  3. Click it and choose Preferences.
  4. Click Creative Cloud (next to General).
  5. Click Apps, then under App Language heading select the correct English version to install. Choose English (International), if you want your preferences to default to metric (mms)  and UK English dictionary, choose English (North American), if you want your preferences to default to imperial measurements (picas) and USA English dictionary.

  6. Click the arrow left of Preferences to return to the 'home' screen, then click Apps, and select InDesign to Install, and follow the prompts.
  7. You should have an English localisation of InDesign installed at the end of this process.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to do anything. I downloaded it like that, and I still received a Japanese version.

Hmmm. that's strange... as I'm assuming you're working on an English Operating System?

Can you try running the CC Cleaner tool and installing again?

Here's a link with more information https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

After running the cleaner,  make sure that:

  1. You first download and install the CC Desktop application (see Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial)
  2. Then set the App Language (as per previous instructions).
  3. Then install your Application.

Am hoping that will work.

Let us know how you go.
