I changed my language in InDesign to English by using this method:

However, this changed everything. Now I can't even click into "book mode" which used to show at the upper right. Could someone help me make things look normal again?

Then reinstall first. Then RENAME the existing folders so that files inside the folders are kept 😉

Well I can of course click "new workspace" but the problem is that everything is gone so I'm quite handicapped here.

The drop down menu at the top right does no longer show a "book" option and tools etc are gone.

Maybe by changing the language I also deleted the preset workspaces that comes with InDesign.

Seems like quite a bad software design to make it this much of a hassle to simply change the language.

I reinstalled now with settings changed and without any changes again to the folder. And everything seems to be up and running now. Thanks for your inputs, Frans.

You have to choose your Workspace and Short cuts again. Just gonto Workspaces in the right upper cornervand choose you desired one, then choose Edit - Short Cuts and assign the desired set.
