Firefox is in foreign language - how do I get back to English?

''I've put this here for you, because there are so many old & misleading answers elsewhere in Help.''
'''Note '''that many Help pages have a selector in the footer that allows you to select various help translations. This does ''n0t ''switch the entire FF interface language.
'''Note also''' that if you have installed a ''locale switcher'' add-on, that may well be a reason you have switched locale!
Solution:
From the Firefox header,
* > Edit > Preferences
* > Content
* > Languages [Choose]
* > highlight the language you want
* > use [Move Up] to place it first in the list
* > press [OK}
If the language you need is not shown, you can add a language there.
This is described in
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-fonts-languages-pop-ups-javascript#w_languages]
If that does not help, you may need to download FF in your language,
[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html] - Firefox in your language.
The ''Firefox in your language'' link is also customised for your operating system & language at [http://mzl.la/PBZPEY]
Otherwise, get the appropriate Firefox language support by downloading a language pack extension.
see:
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs]

The assumption is that you are in Adobe Reader XI MUI version.
1.  Edit>Preferences>Language
2.  In the Application Language pop up select English
3. In the Preferences window click OK.
4. Close Adobe Reader
5. Launch Adobe Reader
You should now be in English.

    First please remember this is a public forum.  If you are going to respond to the thread via e-mail please remove your signature prior to responding.
    To resolve your difficulties you will need to go to the Language & Text preference pane.  Once there click on Edit List and remove all languages besides English.  You will then likely need to remove and reinstall the trial as the language setting I believe is set during the installation process.

    I accidentally chose Dutch instead of English to set up my AppleTV, how do I get back to English? thanks.

    Select any package that you want to install in the Finder and select "File > Get Info" from the main menu bar.
    Then disclose the "Open with" brick and set it to "Installer.app".
    Press the "Change all" button, to open all installer packages with the Installer.app.
    You may need to unlock the padlock in the lower right corner of the "Get Info" panel and to enter your admin password to do that.

  • How do I get back in English while I'm in Taiwan?

    While I'm traveling to abroad some of website became into an alien language and I could not even understand. For example Myspace.com or Msn.com change into Chinese. How do I get back automatically for all website into English? How to make Firefox not always change the language depending where we are? Thanks...

    hello riyadh75, make sure that your language settings in ''firefox > tools > options > content'' are properly set.
    [[Settings for fonts, languages, pop-ups, images and JavaScript]]
    however websites may also [http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/ detect your location] based on the public ip address your isp is providing to you & serve the content in the language derived from that. there's nothing firefox can do about this, it will just display the sites as they are submitted by the server. you could use a proxy or vpn-service from an english speaking country to get around that though...

  • I reset Firefox using the Mozilla instructions; how do I get back the ability to SEND LINK via gmail that I've lost.

    Want to be able to get from SEND LINK directly to a gmail email.

    Thanks for your suggestion. After HOURS of looking through Firefox Support, I finally found a way of changing the default (which, I wasn't aware, was set on Thunderbird) to Gmail. Accomplishing this task took seconds. Finding the instructions took forever. Very poor job by Firefox Support of making it easy to find the answer. But I appreciate your help.

  • Accidently clear certs-reinstall (Firefox) did not add them-how do I get back? cannot acess mozilla (from that machine)

    Apparently the certs do not reload upon reinstall of Firefox. Is there a cache that keeps that data and is not cleared on reinstall / upgrade? I'm using a Linux machine to send this, but it's an XP machine I have the problem on.

    Unless you have a back up of the profile from before the reinstall, no I am sorry the certs are gone.

    Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common for these kinds of "extras" (toolbars, security scanners, etc.) to be added to your browser/system/desktop when adding or updating other software, some from very well-know software vendors. You must carefully read information before downloading any "free" software and be very alert during the install process for any opportunity to opt-out of "extras" being installed.
    '''<u>If you have the Ask Toolbar</u>'''<br />
    * First try to disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar in Firefox via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions". See: [[Uninstalling add-ons]]<br />
