InDesign Middle East version cannot export to Express

Question

I installed the Middle Eastern version of Adobe InDesign on my machine, I created a new document in InDesign with A4 page size, landscape page orientation. The document is totally empty execpt for a small grey rectangle shape on the only page.
 
When I select the option "Export to Adobe Express", I get the below message

Although no text whatsoever is found on this newly created document for testing purposes, it is obvious that any document out of InDesign ME cannot be converted to Express project.
 
Let me know if this finding is true, and whether a solution is possible.

Hi @Zaid Al Hilali,

Thanks for reaching out. I already have checked this with the product team and they have updated that currently the issue you're facing with exporting to Adobe Express from the Middle Eastern (ME) version of InDesign is related to language support. Adobe Express does not support Arabic-script PDFs. This happens if InDesign is installed with an Arabic locale. The solution to it is to reinstall InDesign with English as the installation language. This ensures that the PDF export is in a supported language, and the export to Express should work.

Please give this a try and let us know if the issue persists.
