I have some troubles with AVG. When I download it, it is always installed in my native language, how can I install it in English? And I cannot find quarantine folder. Version is 17. I read a help file but it was different. Would you help me?

Thank you.

This may work. Delete AVG. Change native language in browser to English. Download AVG. Change native language back to what you want.
 
From AVG / Options / Help contents / Index / Find ' language '

language selection :

To change the display language of AVG, choose from the drop-down menu and click OK. After restarting AVG, the whole application will be displayed in the selected language.

Usually the drop-down menu will only offer English, or English and one other language (the one you selected during installation). To add a new language to the list, you need to run the https://www.physicsforums.com/main_reinstallation_of_avg.htm of AVG in the Custom mode, and add the required languages in the Additional Languages section.

Not sure what you mean by quarantine folder . All suspicious material is sent to the virus vault which you can visit via the Options menu .
