I see only German in your screenshot. The field "English (USA)" refers to the document (text) language, not to the language of the user interface. To change the UI language to English, go to Tools > Options..., tab "Appearance", and change the dialog language there.

I should have been clearer.
When I installed 2018 the 1st time it was correct, it was in English not German. Somewhere along the way after the first start of 2018 the language changed to include German, Arabic and English. I have the 2016 version installed as well as that may be a problem...not sure. I noticed that the install file in settings had German, Arabic and English specified.
[Install2016]
DefaultDocumentPath=C:\Users\George\Documents\SoftMaker\
en=Installed
[Install2018]
DefaultDocumentPath=C:\Users\George\Documents\SoftMaker\
en=Installed
ar=Installed
de=Installed

Anyway I have deinstalled 2018 and removed all the 2018 files in APPDATA, and then reinstalled.
It now seems to be working fine, just English language. I also applied the update rev 933 and all is well.
Hope this has been resolved.
I am uncertain as to what happened after the 1st install but I will open another ticket if this persists.

Thanks for your quick response.
