Hey all, just seen recently that all my plugins now won’t install in the CC App like usual.

Hello,

Is there a possibility that you have changed the language in the Creative Cloud desktop app?  
If you have not installed the host app in that language, this error occurs.

Wait… What?! 🤯 Are you saying, if you switch language on CCD you have to re-install Ps too? What if I want to use both in different languages? Really, WTH Adobe? 🤦‍♂️

If you change the “Default install language” and you move to the “App” tab you can see that it will show only apps as installed that were installed in that language. Otherwise they are not shown as installed. I see that for the most apps but not for all. E.g. Acrobat, Media Encoder and UXP Developer Tools also shows as installed.

 ![SCR-20230721-ihee](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/2/2c7b08f8cf9d2719a3c81c2a24a7d17a61a676fe.png)

For Photoshop if you then click on “Install” it will only install the language files of the selected language in CCD. Then you can change the language in PS itself.

It shows “not compatible” for the plugin in CCD if the host app is not installed in the selected language, which is misleading. I have communicated this to the Marketplace team a long time ago. Yesterday at Office Hour, I mentioned it again.

Sadly I couldn’t attend yesterdays meetup 😞 Hope I didn’t miss much. But this install language thing is so confusing. 3rd party plugins should really care about the installed language at all IMO 🤔 If developer wants to do translations, then it’s up to them, but installation should not matter at all. I winder if it’s Marketplace or just Ps

Well that feels really dumb. I’m changed my language preference in CC app, then had to re-download PS in English (North American) again, now my plugins will install.

Thanks for the heads up tho @tomzag I’d never have figured that out, was certain it was issue with older manifest. I’m not even show how to communicate this to my users lol.

Fully agree. @agandhi @Ingo

It’s how CCD (marketplace) handles it.

Unfortunately, some users who use my plugins are experiencing this problem, so I’m forced to give away the ccx and have it renamed to a zip file and copy the contents into the Photoshop plugins folder. This is the only way to fix the problem for me. Does anyone have any ideas? However, I can’t believe this problem hasn’t been fixed yet.
