Can't - the box is ticked, but greyed-out. Question: Why is it greyed-out, and how can that be changed? Perhaps this is a sign that CC cannot change its settings.

Yes.
Now here's the big riddle: as I wrote before, when I copy the complete ccleaner portable folder from my laptop (where it displays in GermN) to my my Tower, the program suddenly displays in English! AND: when I copy the very same folder back to my laptop (to another location), the program switches back to German again. How's that?
Conclusion: the responsisibility for the language displayed must lie outside cc, probably with Windows. No idea, how, where or why.
Note: the registry on my Tower does not contain any ccleaner entries (at least not as far as I can see), so there appear to be no traces left of the 'stationary' ccleaner installed before.
Thanks for your suggestions!
