Changing operating Language of final cut pro x

Hallo, I'm using Final Cut Pro x for a couple of years now. When I bought FCPX from the AppStore (I live in Germany) it dowloaded as expected in German. I'm wondering how could I change the operating language of FCPX to English? I'll be sharing the iMac with a colleague and he speaks only English! Help is much appreciated!

I saw a video on YouTube on this topic and the guy suggested to delete the German language from the recourses Folder in Applications Folder!!! Is there any other way to change the language without deleting anything?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Mac mini, macOS 11.5

To elaborate a bit on what Tom said:

1) Is your colleague sharing the same mac account or using a different account on the same mac? Different users can use the same mac in different languages. So you can keep using FCP in German and your colleague can use in English.

This is probably the best choice.

2) It is possible, if necessary, to change the language used in specific applications, separately from the rest. This will be useful not so much for German but for other languages. For example one might have the system in Italian and Final Cut Pro, which is not available in Italian, could be set to French, say.

This is set in System Preferences->Language & Region->Apps.

Quit the application. Go to System preferences Language & Region. Change the preferred language to English by dragging it to the top of the list. Launch FCP and it will be in English.
