Unable to change language
Windows 10, CC2020.
I am unable to change the Installation language of Illustrator. No matter what I do it always installs itself as English (International). I am trying to change it to Norwegian to record a tutorial. This often happens, but with CC apps it is **** to efficiently try to change app languages. Fiddling with obscure settings files, renaming folders, reinstalling applications, or sometimes being forced to reinstall every single CC app and do a complete cleaning of the system.
IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE LANGUAGE DROP-DOWN IN PREFERENCES. /rant
What I have attempted:
- I created a new Windows User Account.
- Change OS language to Norwegian. This seems to change the language of the CC desktop app.
- Uninstall Illustrator, and remove preferences. Verify that application folder is gone.
- Uninstall the CC dekstop app.
- Reinstall the CC dekstop app.
- In the CC desktop app, set the default app language to Norwegian.
- Reinstall Ai.
Result: Illustrator installs with english language, not norwegian.
I tried uninstalling the dekstop app and Ai both normally, and using the CC cleaner app.
I notice the in the CC desktop app that the description of the app is in english, but for some other apps it's in Norwegian. There must be a hidden setting/file somewhere locking it to English. Where can I find this and delete the **** thing? I have now spent two hours trying to change my language. This should not happen.

I am trying to install Ai in Norwegian, but there is no option for it in preferences.
Changing app language in the Creative Cloud Desktop App to Norwegian, then reinstalling Ai does not help. Reinstalling all of CC does not help. I have tried 10 times. Even on a new user account with the OS language changed to Norwegian just in case.
But, digging around, it should be possible to manually copy over the required files. In C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2020\Support Files\Contents\Windows there is an "en_US"-folder.
Where can I download the files required for Norwegian (nb_NO)?Ps: Also, it *really* needs to be easier to change language. And make it consistent across CC apps. I have spent two days and only managed to change the language of half my apps.
