Regarding prices in Europe : annual cloud subscription here (in France) is 61,5 € / month, roughly 80,5 $. My cloud subscription is 61% more expensive because of language packs that I never ever used or will use, without any possibility given to me of getting the english only version of the softwares. I work with english versions because :
- 90% of the learning content for Adobe softwares is in english, with english UI.
- 99,9% of all the technical audio and video stuff I personally read / watch is in english.
- Creative softwares use loads of technical terms and a lot of them just don't translate well at all in french.
Even if cloud subscription is way cheaper and more versatile than paying the whole license up front, I still don't like being left with no choice but to pay for stuff I don't use because I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic ocean.
