How to Change Acrobat Pro 2020 Display Language to Dutch on Windows 10
Question details
The user needs to change the display language of Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 to Dutch on Windows 10.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020
- Device & OS
- Windows 10
- Scenario
- Deploying or installing Acrobat Pro 2020 utilizing a Dutch-language installer and a Dutch license.
- Observed behavior
- The software forces an English installation, and the option to switch to Dutch is missing from both the setup installer and the Acrobat Customization Wizard.
Ensure you have your Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 serial number accessible and confirm you have administrator privileges on your Windows 10 device before modifying the installation.
Download and Install the Multilingual Installer Package
Use this solution to ensure you are installing from a package that actually contains the Dutch language files.
Even if your license supports Dutch, using a single-language English installer will restrict your language options. You must use the specific multilingual or European installation package to gain access to the Dutch language pack during deployment.
Open the Windows 10 Start Menu, go to Settings > Apps, locate Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 in the list, and click 'Uninstall' to remove the English-only version.
Log into your Adobe Licensing Website (LWS) or Adobe account. Navigate to your downloads and specifically select the Multilingual or European regional installer for Acrobat Pro 2020.
Run the newly downloaded setup file. On the very first installation prompt, click the language dropdown menu and select 'Dutch' before proceeding with the installation.
Verify Serial Number Entitlement with Adobe
Use this if the multilingual installer still does not offer Dutch, indicating a potential license mismatch.
Use WPS Office for Hassle-Free Multilingual PDF Editing
Avoid complex installer packages and regional serial number restrictions. WPS Office features a powerful built-in PDF editor that allows you to read, edit, and convert documents easily, with simple in-app language switching that perfectly adapts to your needs.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the free WPS Office installer to your Windows 10 PC.
- 2. Install the Software: Run the setup wizard. WPS Office will quickly install and often automatically syncs with your default Windows system language.
- 3. Change Display Language: Open WPS Office, click the 'Settings' icon in the upper right corner, select 'Language', and choose your preferred UI language from the available list.
- 4. Edit Your PDFs: Click 'Open' or simply drag and drop your PDF file into the WPS workspace to begin editing text, adding comments, or converting files immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Dutch language option missing in the Acrobat Customization Wizard?
The Acrobat Customization Wizard can only reveal language options that are physically present in the base MSI file. If you loaded an English-only MSI into the wizard, the Dutch language option will remain completely hidden.
Can I download a standalone Dutch language pack for Acrobat Pro 2020?
No, Adobe generally does not provide standalone language pack downloads for Acrobat Pro 2020. You must download and run the full multilingual installer package to change the core application language.
How do I switch the language if I already installed the multilingual package?
If installed correctly, open Acrobat and navigate to Edit > Preferences > Language. Under the 'Application Language' section, select 'Choose at application startup' or select Dutch directly. You will need to restart Acrobat for the changes to take effect.
