When you run the script again, it should ask if you want to change it back to French. Do you only have CS on your computer? Are you on mac or windows?

I tried to switch the german ID to English US, but after I renamed the workspace folder, it still showed no menus and panel and — most annoyingly — asked me to enter the serial again.

I switched back to German and ID started as usual, not asking for serial anymore already registered since long. Exactly the same happened to me when switching from german to French. But I would like to specify also the hack worked from august to september, and all of a sudden … crack!

My company is anyway not ready for switching to CC, this monthly redevance concept is hardly aceptable for german people! Almost correct. WOW, works like a charm!!!!

Just uninstalled the software, changed CC language in the preferences click on the cogwheel to reach that, then on the Apps tab find App language , and install again. I just figured, I no longer have short keys :S what can I do??? Do you know how to fix it? Well it worked except for one glitch — any menu eg document setup that is opened, would not appear with close or minimise buttons, and also could not be put in the background let alone be closed.
