1. Keep your primary version!
2. Go to the CC desktip application.
3. Go to preferences > Applications
4. Scroll down to bottom
5. Change the installation language
6. Install all programs you need in that other language
7. Additional plugins are istalled which will extend the functionality.
8. Change the installation language back to your primary language.

Now will InDesign run in your language but with funcctionality which is needed for the other language. Also additional fonts are installed.

In a newer version of the CC Application you find the language as entry in  the preferences in the side bar-

Hello @Teopista3773137151n4,

Sorry to hear the suggestions did not help. Would you mind trying the following steps and checking if it helps:

• Close all Adobe applications
• Remove the Creative Cloud Desktop application, CCLibrary, and CoreSync using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (https://adobe.ly/4om4hfr)
• Reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application (https://adobe.ly/43T308b)

Looking forward to hearing from you.
