Changing language of movies

I suspect this all stems form trying to keep media file sizes down - having multiple language tracks would probably not benefit most people as each track would add a size overhead to the overall file - longer to download, more storage needed.
I assume with DVDs it was simple - pressing plants churning out the same multi-language DVDs for a region.
With digital downloads they are trying to think for you by including your native language soundtrack - unfortunately this falls down when you want to hear the original soundtrack.
At the very least it might be sensible to include the original and a regional audio soundtrack to solve such issues.  Even if I don't understand a language I generally prefer to watch a foreign movie with the original soundtrack and subtitles - 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' actually had 2 separate rental versions in UK - original or dubbed English soundtrack.

  • Can't change language in movies :(

    Hi,
    with firmware 1.1.3 the iPhone supports multi-language movies.
    I have one movie with two languages (german and englisch). In iTunes i can change the language, but on my iPhone I can not change the language. When I try to switch the language i get a new menu called "Audio" but there are no languages listed
    What am I doing wrong?

    No expert in this, but I'm guessing this feature requires a movie encoded properly for the iPhone to support this so the first thing I'd ask is if this is a movie you purchased from the iTunes store? If so (and it has multiple languages) then you should contact the store and find out what's going on.
    Just because iTunes can play multiple audio streams in a file doesn't mean that same file will work in theh iPhone (there are lots of things that play in iTunes that don't play at all in the iPhone, and there might be those that play with multiple audio streams in iTunes that won't work on the iPhone as well -- but this is just a SWAG).

  • Change Language of Movie

    I want to watch a movie via iTunes in the original language, not in German. How can I select the language of the movie?

    In my store
    The instructions refer to the iTunes app, not the "store".
    iTunes > Einstellingen > Wiedergabe

  • Whats the function used in objective C to change language in an app

    whats the function used in objective C to change language in an app

    No. Actually its a not uncommon practise in iOS. See the app "Where is my Water" for instance. You can freely select what language you want to use in the game.
    Another iOS app where the app does not offer this feature but should is XCom. For me the app uses German text with US-English movies and ingame speech. I would rather have complete english than a language mix, but I cant switch the game. I could swich my ipad to english, then the game would use english. But this would lead to other problems and its not really user friendly.
    Speaking of language support. It is also ok to download languages after installation. After all it is only data, no executable.

    hi,how can i change language in new lion?i need from english,to the czech know anyone?thanks

    If you are talking about the menus and dialogues, go to system prefs/language & text/language and move Czech to the top of the list and then logout/login.
    If you are talking about the keyboard, let us know.

  • Change language for Polish

    I know how to change language in the document. But always when I open pages I have to do that. I have to start working from change the language from english to polish. I checked my settings and in my system preferences I have polish everywhere. What should I do to change this in pages once and forever?

    May you try to ctrl-click the Pages.app icon to get the contextual menu offering the entry "Show Package contents" ?
    Open the 'Contents' folder to get :
    Open the 'Resources' folder and select every whose name ends with .lproj minus the pl.lproj one.
    Move the selected folders to the 'Resources Disabled' one.
    Doing that you will force Pages to run in Polish.

  • I bought 3 films and none of them had subtitles or alternative languages: why? I paid full price (like a dvd) without the same options. Why should I pay the same price? What I want is to change languages or to have subtitles (Kung Fu Panda2 and Rise..apes

    I bought 3 films and none of them had subtitles or alternative languages: why? I paid full price (like a dvd) without the same options. Why should I pay the same price? What I want is to change languages or to have subtitles (Kung Fu Panda2 and Rise of the Planet of the Apes and SpongeBob).
    Pease tell me.
    Best Regards

    You can't change languages in any of the movies offered in the store. Some movies have subtitles but it is in the same language as the movie.
    Depending on what country you are in, you may get movies in that countries native language.

    Hi, try this...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
    Move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox.<12digitHexNu mber>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist
    Reboot & set it up again.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

    The Google translation app should be able to handle it. I'm going to ask the hosts to move your post to the iPad Forum in case other people have ideas.

  • What key(s) do i type to change language from english to other? i am writing s story in dual languages. i was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

    what key(s) do it type to change language from english to other? i am writing a story in dual languages. I was told to click command and space bar together but it is not working.

    Command Spacebar opens Spotlight as you have found out. If you want to change languages you need to say what app you are using to write the story in, I'm guessing you are using Pages or MS Word. If that's the case
    Pages: Open Inspector - Click the T tab - Click Language and change your language.
    MS Word: Tools Menu - Language - Choose your language.

  • How to reload the screen when changing languages in JavaFX 2?

    I'm beginner with javaFX and i need to change language of the screen. but i have no idea how to reload the screen when the language was changed. The application have a button where have the language available. I want just refresh screen when the user change language.
    Here is the start method to show the stage.
        @Override
        public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
            this.stage = stage;
            Locale locale = Locale.getDefault();
            ResourceBundle rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources/Label",locale);
            loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
            root = (Parent)loader.load();
            FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
            controller.setMain(this);
            scene = new Scene(root);
            stage.setScene(scene);
            stage.show();
    here is the function to change the language(in the same class with start function),the rb is the new ResourceBundle:
        public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
              //change the language here
    1. I don't want to use the resourceBundle to get value in resource file and set label in scene one by one.like following:
    this.btnLabel.setText(rb.getString(key.test));
    2. I don't want to reload the scene,like following:
        public void refresh(ResourceBundle rb)
             try
                loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"),rb);
                root = (Parent)loader.load();
                scene.setRoot(root);
                FXMLDocumentController controller = (FXMLDocumentController) loader.getController();
                controller.setMain(this);
            catch(Exception err)
                err.printStackTrace();
    So do we have a solution to just set the resourceBundle and reload the scene easier?
    Thanks and best regards!

    Your option 2 (reload the FXML for the scene using the new resource bundle as a parameter), is the way this would normally be done and what I would recommend.
    Failing that, you could use option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items (I don't really recommend this).
    Why don't you want to use option 2?
    Perhaps it is because there is some internal state of the UI which differs from the initial state when the the UI is first loaded (e.g. user has typed text in a text field and you want to preserve that).  If that's the case you will need to either go with your option 1 of individually resetting the label text of labeled items, or implement something which preserves the UI state and user data by saving it in memory or to disk, reloading the UI via the FXMLLoader (essentially your option 2), then restoring the UI state and user data to what it was before the language change.  Preserving and restoring the modified state seems complicated to me if you have a lot of state, so I wouldn't really advise this approach unless you really needed it.

  • Purchasing additional languages for movies on Apple TV

    Hello,
    We are a multilingual family, and are trying to promote the use of all our languages to our kids, French, Italian and English. We use the Apple Tv extensively, and I was wondering if there is an option to purchase aditional languages for movies on the Apple TV.
    for example we purchase kids movies on the French itunes store and it includes both french and english languages, but not italian. However that same movies is available on the italian itunes store in italian. However since I have already purchased the movies i don't want to buy them all again on the italian itunes store. That would cost too much, but also we would have duplicates of our movies and in seperate itunes store accounts just to be able to watch them in different languages. This would be very inconvenient. In other cases, some movies on the french itunes store only have french as the language, however the english and italian languages are again available in the english and italian itunes store respectively.
    The world is becoming ever more international and multilingual, and access to languages should not be so complicated. In fact Apple has always been a pioneer in offering all languages on their Mac OS and iOS, embracing the multilingual spirit.
    IT would be extremely useful, if we could add aditional languages to an already purchased movie.
    thank you for your help, if you have a solution to my problem.

    To have Apple see your request, you should repost it at
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    In the meantime, you might want to see whether other stores offer movies with more languages included.

  • I changed language from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US? in English

    I changed language (based on an answer in this forum) from EN-GB to EN-US but my keyboard is still British (only when using FF). How can I change it to EN-US?
    Should I just export my bookmarks, uninstall and reinstall the proper version? That may just be shorter than anything else.

    GREAT!. Thanks a lot for educating me. There seem to be a million things we have to learn about our computers and when we run into them the first time they seem insurmountable. You pointed me to the solution. Thanks again. Ben

  • Changing Language in 6120

    Hi all
    I am having trouble with changing language in 6120.
    Usually, I am use to change language by pressing the # key when i write some thing... BUT the thing is that in 6120, it will change the language only to the language you choose.
    E.G main language is English, I write a URL in english that i want to get to, now, i am in the site and wants to write in Hebrew, However, the options of changing language by pressing on # key is only 123, abc, ABC but not Hebrew, even when i have Hebrew fonts installed. thus, i need to go to the language section, choose Main language as Hebrew, go back to the site and write in hebrew ... cant i do it just with the # key ?! so i will have 123, abc, ABC, אבג ... BTW, i had this option in my old 6230i

    In July of this year, Apple made a change to the iTunes store which essentially makes this impossible (for now). Until that time, there was a workaround you could use as per their Knowledgebase which would let you set the language of the iTunes Store back to English, regardless of what country your iTunes account was based in.
    There have been repeated attempts from the user community to get Apple to acknowledge and address this issue, but the customer service staff have thusfar only referred to the KB article, which doesn't actually help. For now, your only option is to select a different country's store by selecting the flag icon/button on the lower right corner of the iTunes store and reading about applications or music in another store...of course, this actually will log out out of your itunes store account, which means you can't purchase anything, and as soon as you sign back in, you will be forced to the language of the country your account is based in.
    I find this policy of Apple's to be truly repugnant and counter everything they've strived to stand for - but it seems it's here to stay, as they won't acknowledge nor fix it.
    Apple's staff only point to:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2242
    This will not fix the problem we've all been having since July.
