Why is the download panel in Japanese?

[pwillener]

Windows 7 Pro x64 (English version), Waterfox 13, as well as IE9.

Tried to download Digital Editions today in order to reproduce a problem someone else was having.

1. went to http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/
   
2. click on Download now
   
3. click on ｲﾝｽﾄｰﾙ
   
4. click on ｲﾝｽﾄｰﾙ again
   
5. click on はい
   
6. now this panel opens
   

Now I really don't know how to continue; my Japanese is not good enough.

Why does the installation have to be in Japanese?

How can I change it to English?

P.S. and an additional question: if I continue the installation here with the default values, will the installed product UI also be in Japanese?

I just completed the installation; to answer my own question:

[Jim_Lester-oIBbX7]

When asked for the installation language, your computer is answering japanese - are you running a J version of Windows?

[pwillener]

English language Windows.

Some Regional Settings are set to Japanese, for certain Japanese programs to display correctly.

But all other Adobe download and install panels display correctly in English.

I'm willing to bet it is one of those regional settings that ADE is using to determine the language to display in.

I'm also sure it is, but it is wrong: it should use the Windows language, or the codepage, not just "some" setting.

All other Adobe installers / software works correctly.

Some Adobe multilanguage installers actually ask for the language to be installed.
