Finder menu in two languages

Hi, since updating to OSX10.10, my Finder menu has been displaying two languages - not really a problem, more a query as to why, and how to resolve it.
Im running a mid 2010 27' iMac with the SSD and 1TB option and all latest software (OS X 10.10.1).
My system language is set to English, with these priorities - 3 languages - 1st English, 2nd Spanish, 3rd Brazilian Portuguese, and an ISO Spanish keyboard (I live in Spain)
I have reset language preferences a few times, and all else seems to be OK and as it should, except the finder menu (picture below).
Anyone have any ideas as to how to get it back into English?
Thanks!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults read -g AppleLocale | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • Favorites bar in finder in two languages

    Hi there,
    I recentley purchased a macbook Pro 13" from 2011. Then installed Yosemite after using Maverics for 12 Months on another MB.
    The computer was originally set up in german but I then changed the language to english (and all other settings).
    The problem is (only minor) but bizarre:
    When I open the Finder my Favourite bar appears in two languages. Also the tags appear in two languages.
    I tried setting the language back to german (it stayed german for two days), then back to enlish again(it remained englisch for two days).thensuddenly- Same issue. The language was in english and german again...
    I have posted a screenshot so yo understand what i‘m talking about...as you might think I'm nuts otherwise...
    Have you come across this issue before ? Bug ? Fix ?
    looking forward to your input ;-)
    Cheers Gareth
    PS I forgot to add: My girlfriend has another user account which is set to german (no issue there). The problem existed before her account was added though.

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Language & Region
    Deselect each unwanted language from the list and click OK. Then select your region from the Region menu.
    Close the preference pane. You may have to log out and log back in for the change to take effect.
    If there's no change, reset the PRAM.

  • My Finder menu bar and screen is flashing.  Is this a virus?

    The icons (file folders, Hard Drive icon, etc) on my desktop and the Finder menu bar started flashing off and on, last night. I can use Mail, Safari, iPhoto, iTunes, etc. from the Dock, but it is a challenge to click on Airport on the menu bar to get on line. I shut the computer down, removed-then reinstalled the battery and restarted the computer, but the flashing began right away, again. I had exported some photos to desktop which landed atop the Hard Drive icon. I move them as quickly as I can, but the screen flashes and puts them back, so I can't access the Hard Drive. I had viewed a QT movie someone sent me earlier in the evening and also clicked on several photos in MySpace. I wonder if one of those could have done it.

    Just starting up with the install disk won't erase anything.
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart the computer and at the same time insert disk1 into the slot while holding down the option key.
    This should bring up a screen showing two different startup options.
    Pick your disk that you inserted.
    You will eventually get a screen with a window opened showing the Mac install file. Don't use this.
    Up top on the menu bar should be a pull down menu that will give you an option of disk utilities.
    Use the repair permissions function and disk repair function. These will not erase anything.
    The reason I'm not clear on the position of the menus is that I'm at work on a peecee.
    Try this and let us know..

  • What is this Icon?  (Upper Right Finder Menu Bar)

    There is an icon on the upper right of the Finder menu that is all gray and is a thin vertical line with two equal sized triangles lined up on it on the right side, and a squiggly line going across the center of the line horizontally.
    I clicked on it and it caused my cursor to become a multicolored wheel while in the Finder toolbar, and I'm going to have to log out to get it to stop. It doesn't appear in the Force Quit list (unless it's Finder, System Profiler, which I don't think it is).
    Sorry for the dumb question.
    Wish we could paste pics in here; I made a Grab shot of it....
    -Linda

    I really have no idea which icon you're describing but...
    SystemUIServer is background process but one of the apps it specifically controls the right hand side of the Menu bar, where the Menu Extras are and should return your icons to default.
    Go toUsers/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.0017f2c28128.plist and delete these files, Then, log out and back in.
    EDIT: You can post pics... with the HTML Code. Try http://photobucket.com/

  • Display the webdynpro screen in two languages?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have requirement to display the webdynpro screen in two language(English & Arabic)
    what is the steps involved to achieve this requirement.

    Hallo Dharani,
    NOTE: you cannot switch the session locale of a running Web Dynpro Java application in the same browser window. The only solution is to start a new Web Dynpro application "from scratch" by executing a  new browser instance NOT "browser window" instance. So with Browser -> File menu -> new window you will keep the same session locale even when passing another locale-parameter with the URL-param sap-locale. Sorry, but this is an unsolved restriction in Web Dynpro.

  • Contract in two languages and two columns parallel on each page?

    I'm writing a long contract in two languages and want two columns parallel on each page. The column should break every time to the next page and not to the top of the same page. anybody with some helpful advises please?

    Jerry, thx.
    I tried. It seems I am dummy with pages.
    First of all my pages speaks German and even I m sure my English is pretty stable the idioms seem to be different in the menus & bars.
    So let my try to ask and hope I m not stressing your patience.
    "Make sure both text boxes are Floating ...." what means Floating? How does that look like, what do I do?
    You mean click on them so both boxes are empty yet visible?
    And there is no "CAPTURE PAGES" in my advanced menu, pls have a look. Can you indicate where it sits in English?
    And whatever I tried in that advanced menu bar, nothing asked me to "assign a name" to something.
    Can we sort that and go from there?
    thx

  • Apple (Finder) menu do not respond

    I make a search but could find anything related to this specific trouble.
    It has happen already few time (3) after download or update a soft (QT) Apple/Finder Menu does not respond anymore to function SLEEP, RESTART and SHUT DOWN.
    I have repair permission (no result), run ONYX 1.5.3 (no result), Disk Warrior 4.0 (no result), eDrive -TTP 4.1.2- (no result)...
    The Mac (almost) never stop or put in sleep to let utilities like Onyx and TTP check/repair automatically on night.
    Since I thought it should be a corrupted preference file, I moved on desktop com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and restart.
    The two first time I did that, Finder was working again normally. But this time not !
    I also try disable Application Enhancer 2.0.2 for testing and also kill the finder from Activity Monitor (an advise), through away again com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.
    At restart, still no response at menu Sleep, start etc...
    Any idea what could I try now to solve that ? It's so boring !

    Hi cldjr!
    Which of your Macs are you having a problem with? The iMac or the iBook?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    By all means, run Repair Permissions, as Dimaxum suggested, which should be run from Disk Utility, located in the Utilities folder, while booted from the Startup Volume, not from the system disc. Instructions posted below.
    In addition, if you are able to startup from the system disc, run Repair Disk. Instructions posted below.
    If neither of those corrects the problem, reinstalling the 10.3.9 Combo Update, may correct the problem.
    When completed, run Repair Permissions once again.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
    THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
    1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
    2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3.Click the First Aid tab.
    4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
    8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
    10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
    11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.

  • Two language recognition on Voice Control?

    Hi,
    I'm Portuguese and therefore have a lot of Portuguese music on my iPhone, but also a lot of English (American, UK, etc) music.
    I find it very hard to try to say:
    "Reproduzir Of A Revolution" in Portuguese
    as well as
    "Play Carlos Paião" in English
    The pronunciation just doesn't match.
    Is it possible to configure Voice Control to recognize in two languages at the same time?
    Best Regards

  • Tell me please Can I order on the keyboard two languages ​​English and Russian

    Tell me please Can I order on the keyboard two languages ​​English and Russian?

    Nobody in these forums represents Apple or any store.  If you want to find out whether you can buy something, you will have to contact stores directly yourself or consult their website.
    In the US, I have seen reports that it is sometimes possible to get special keyboards if you contact an Apple retail store and ask for a special order.

    Hi,
    I'm using a new iMac (OS 10.7.4) and was wondereing if it possible to stop my machine from constantly changing the input menu from "Britsh" to "U.S.". This is the item with the small national flag icon in the Finder menu.

    Many thanks,

    Go to System Pref > Language & Text > Input Sources where you can select British and deselect any US input source.

  • Can't see finder menu bar mountain lion

    Since yesterday, every time I reboot or start my iMac everything comes up except my Finder menu bar.
    Only way I can start working on my Mac is to relaunch my finder by force quitting.
    I am running iMac 24" (Early 2008), Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM
    Anyone with similar experience? Thank you in advance.

    One possibility is that you are somehow getting into full screen mode for some app that is restarting ever time you reboot. But the finder could be hosed for some other reason. Perhaps some menubar extension you installed?
    I'd try two things.
    1) start up in safe mode (hold down the shift key on hearing the startup chime) See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455.  If all is well then, you should reboot normally after that.
    2) login as a different user ( you do have another user setup I hope. This is always a good idea). Does the problem happen with this other user?
    Safe mode should reset caches and will, I hope fix your problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Apple TV plays two languages at the same time!

    Hello,
    I ripped some of my DVDs using handbrake. I added two language tracks (original language + my mother tongue).
    After adding meta data with subler i also checked both language tracks at subler so they will both appear in itunes.
    Everything works fine when i watch the movie on my computer, i can perfectly switch languages in the settings menu.
    But wen i stream it to my apple tv (i use itunes on my computer at chose apple tv as streaming device/airplay instead of browsing with the apple tv directly)
    it will play both languages at the same time! no matter if i chose a language in itunes or not, it always plays both languages.
    Did anyone else have this problem?
    Or even a solution?

    When an apple tv and an airport express are connected at the same time and the apple tv is powered on, the itunes multiple speakers feature will show both the express and the apple tv. you can select either, or both using the multiple speakers option.

  • Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

    When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

    Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?
