having multiple UI languages in Illustrator [HOW?]

Guest
Jun 29, 2023 Jun 29, 2023

Hello everyone.
Can I have two UI languages simultaneously installed in Illustrator (as in Photoshop can be done)? If yes, how can it be achieved?
The only way to work around I found so far is to change the default language for apps in my Creative Cloud account settings, then uninstalling Illustrator, restarting the computer and reinstalling the app again. But this doesn't allow me to quickly swap between GUI versions.
Every help will be appreciated. Regards,

You don't need to uninstall Illustrator. If I change the Default Install Language in the Creative Cloud app, I see the Install button for Illustrator. After installing you just need to change your System language to whatever you installed and by switching languages you can switch between the installations. Don't forget to reset the Default Install Language in the Creative Cloud app to what you prefer as your main language.

You can have multiple languages installed, but then you will have to switch the system's language in order to switch the Illustrator language.

Thank you very much for your help. It works. 
It's hard to believe, however, that Adobe resolve this issue in such an inconvenient way. Plenty of apps like LibreOffice for example, CorelDraw, or even Photoshop needs to be switched in preferences panel and restarted only to work with a different UI. And here, I need to close all other documents and apps, change the language used throughout the entire system (!), log out and log in again. Extremely user unfriendly.
