Hi,

how can I change the language of Acrobat Pro 2017? Control Panel >Programs and Features >Acrobat Pro 2017 >Change >Modify >Languages only shows English and so I cannot add anything else. I installed the Multi Language Version, though...

Thanks in advance
Cheers

I bought  Adobe Acrobat 2017 Pro from Adobe - it's showing up in my adobe account.  It installed in Spanish.  I installed it several times thinking I made a mistake.  I finally changed a setting in the registry to get it in English.  Did I buy a spanish version without realizing?  How could that even happen?   Does Adobe sell an ENGLISH version of acrobat Pro WITHOUT cloud capability?

Hi

I have a similar problem.  My Adobe acrobat pro is in English and I would like to switch it to French.

Can you tell which key you modified in the registry?

 

Thanks

Ok, that is the MUI installer, but it sounds as if you may not have the license you need. What language do you need, and in what country is the retailer? It is common, in my experience, that language versions are sold only in particular regions, for several reasons including support, taxes, and exclusive agreements both with distributors and translators, as well as helpfully reducing the greymarket.

I can't find "ALSO" on the Adobe official partner list, but their name may be causing problems because also is such a common word.

Awful to hear these scammers are still at work, and glad to hear you did not fall for it. If you can copy and paste their exact user names we may be able to get them thrown off, but of course will be back with new names.

Finally, some good news (if rather ridiculous). You see your own name when you are signed in. Other people do not. See this image:

Open Acrobat and go to Edit - Preferences - Languages and you'll see it there.

I can only choose English, "choose at application startup" or "same as the operating system" there. I tried the other two options but the both result in English again although OS is not English.

Also, exactly what license did you buy (don't tell us any personal info or serial numbers!)?

Licenses are language and locale specific, and using an MUI installer does not change that.
