Additional information
This issue occurs if you purchased the English-language-only membership but set the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app to a different language.
When installed, Adobe Creative Cloud sets the language to the operating system's default. If your default is German, then Adobe Creative Cloud sets the language for your Creative Cloud applications to German.
For details on how to check which Creative Cloud membership you have, go to the Adobe Store for your country. Select My Orders, Your Purchases, or Your Account.
