How to change the language to English in Premiere Pro CS6?

[Joe_Schr]

Hi there,

I recently bought the Master Suite over Amazon, because the Adobe Online Store seemed broken (Unknown Errors after ordering and a Telephone Number which you couldn't call) and I really needed it before the end of the year (Tax Reasons). So now I got the German Version. I want it to be in English because the Translations are sometimes really bad and also most of the Tutorials and Learning Materials are in English. No big deal I thought, you can surely change it to English. I did my Research and I could change Photoshop and AfterEffects to English. What is left of my most used Tools is Premiere Pro. So:

How can I change my Premiere Pro CS6 to english? There has do be a way?

Thanks a lot!

Edit: Also I can't request a language swap as recommend http://forums.adobe.com/message/4702895#4702895 because i couldn't order it via adobe store.

I have a feeling that if you bought a German version - it's a German version.  Period!

You might do better with this query by placing it on the Downloading, Installing and Setting up Forum.

Unfortunately dual posting is frowned upon here, but usually one of the mods will spot this and move it to the appropriate forum.

I think one is stuck to the Premiere language version one initially bought.

Thanks for your answer, I still hope there is some way to change it legally..

Contact Adobe.

Not exactly.  This forum is sponsored by Adobe, but it is a user-to-user forum.  For licensing and installation questions you'll have to contact Adobe directly by phone.

Oh, ok, thank you!

I know that the PrPro S/N's are platform-specific, i.e. Mac, OR PC, but I am not sure if they are also language-specific. Others WILL know. If they are NOT, then it should be possible to download the trial for English, and unlock that with your S/N. I have never done a trial, so have never converted to the full-paid with my S/N, but am just thinking there.

As for the Adobe Store, you are correct that they had issues (many related to Adobe cookies in one's browser), and I had to make a purchase, about the same time that you did, from another browser.

With your invoice and S/N, Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), should either be able to help you, or give you the definitive answer to your question. If you bought directly FROM Amazon, they are a certified reseller, so that should not be a problem. If you bought from someone else, just THROUGH Amazon, then there could be a problem.

Good luck,

Thanks Hunt, sadly re-installing with the English Trial Version didn't help.

I'm now contacting Adobe Support and let you know how it goes. I'm sure there are others which are interrested in these question!?

Joe,

Sorry to hear that. I was doing a bunch of guessing speculating.

Good luck,

@Hunt, no problem, we all work with that kind of stuff more often than we should!
