language settings illustrator

[AReef]

I can't seem to get illu in English, I removed it, set language to English in CC-settings and downloaded again, that worked for PS but illu won't change language, any tips?

In order to run Illustrator in English, either:

- your system needs to also be in English or

- the English version needs to be the only Language version of Illustrator. 

When you check the Presets in the Illustrator folder, is there any other language lingering around?

Thank you for your reply Monica, and yes there was English and Dutch in that folder, I removed Dutch but then illu won't start anymore. I'll remove the entire CC-folder now, reboot and then download it again.

That didn't work either, but I figured it out how to solve it, I set my Macbook to English, downloaded the apps, and then changed my language settings back to Dutch.  It's stupid that I need that work-around, but it works, all ADOBE-apps are in Englisch now. Thanks again for your reply, it wasn't the solution, but it put me in the right direction !

Setting the system language just for installation isn't necessary (I have installed 13 different languages). What is important is setting the install language in the CC app.
