Forcing language settings in itunes 5

I have WinXP Japanese version installed. When installing iTunes 5, the installer asked me to choose the installation language (English) but I did not see any possibility to choose the language of the application itself and the Japanese version of iTunes was installed. Is there a way to force the installation to a certain language (English) ? If not, I will have to return to 4.9.

Tokjdm,
Found the fix! Thanks to Tom Gewecke's post and the solution from another previous poster which he found, everything worked like magic!
Here I will paste that solution as well. Good luck!
< ITunes 5.0 always displays menus and help in the local language. I want ENGLISH
FIX:
1) Browse to the sub-folder of iTunes installation folder
Â Â (Usually: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources)
2) re-name the local language file that your iTunes is using
Â Â (In my case Norwegian, 'no.lproj') to NONO_no.lproj
3) Do the same in the sub-folder 'iTunesHelper.Resources'
When iTunes dosen't find the local language resource, it reverts to ENGLISH. >

Changing country/language settings in iTunes?

Hi!
I have just bought an iPod and installed iTunes with it. The problem is that there is no iTunes music store in New Zealand but I still want to browse music and podcasts.
However, the main page of the iTunes Music store is set in either Korea/Japan mode hence the symbols being mushed up and I can only see the pictures.
How can I change the country/language setting of iTunes bar having to remove and re-install it?
Thank you in advance.

And in addition:
To change to another store
In left column select Music Store
In the main window of iTMS scroll down to the very
bottom: There is a dropdown menu located that lets
you change to another store.
Great thanks!!! That was it! As it was only shown in strange symbols I didn't know what this menu was. I selected the only decipherable option (UK) and hey presto! I can now read the Music Store

There is only one iTunes.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302331
"1 - Open iTunes.
2 - From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
3 - Select the General tab.
4 - On the Language pop-up menu (in the lower section of the window), choose your desired language.
5 - Click OK.
6 - Quit and reopen iTunes.
Note that iTunes must be restarted for your new language setting to take effect."

Language settings for iTunes

iTunes on my iPad has switched to Spanish somehow - any ideas how I reset it to English?

Did you try to log out of your Apple ID in Settings/iTunes and App Store/Apple ID, restart the device and log in again with the correct Apple ID?

Change country or language settings - iTunes match

I've subscribed for iTunes match and now I'd like to change my country or language settings from Germany to Holland. If I need to unsubscribe iTunes match then how do I do it. I could not find any option to unsubscribe iTunes match in Itunes.

Your best route is to call Apple direct, explain what you are trying to do and work with the pointers they provide.
To unsubscribe, you would need to go into your current account, de-select options for automatic renewal. De-authorise your computers and sign out of iTunes - but it is worth assessing with Apple whether this will achieve what you need.
The rule to watch is the one that requires 90 days to elapse before you can use your computer with another Apple Id - it may be that there is no neat route around this deliberate service restriction that Apple have designed in - other than the obvious, to use a second computer (or an emulator on your current computer).

i am living in china and after installation of the new iOS the appstore and iTunes open in chinese. all language settings are in german. whar can i do?

If it still shows the icon, Settings, then General, (sixth one down), then international, (third one up from the bottom), then, at the top, has where you can select what language, I think English is at the top of the list. I hope I can help!

Can I change OS language / language settings?

Am vacationing in Spain, and I am considering picking up an iPad from the local Apple Store. The question is, will this be hard-fixed to run in Spanish, or will I be able to switch it to English language settings when I initialize it, or when I sync it with my iTunes. I currently own an iPhone 4, if that makes any difference whatsoever...?
Anyone?

Excellent, thanks
Will try asking them, but since I don't speak any Spanish myself, and finding English speaking staff is equally challenging, I figured I'd ask in this forum instead
Appreciated.

You need to change the language settings, however you cannot do it on an application by application bases.

I can not pass the language settings menu

Hello,
Since I have tried to get the latest build of Apple TV, my apple TV can not pass the language settings menu. I choose my language and then it loops back to language settings menu.
I have restored twice from iTunes, plug and unplug from the tv, the electric network, and so on, but it does the same loop.
Anybody has solved this problem ?
Regards,
F

If you can't get past the lock screen when you slide to unlock, try rebooting your iPad and then try again.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I restored my non functioning ipad to factory settings on itunes and I can see the ipad on itunes but the screen is still showing nothing but a very dark blue/black screen. Can I correct this myself?

Ipad won't turn on. when you press the home/on button the screen lights up a little to a dark blue/black screen.
I've forced it into recovery mode, restored it to factory settings on itunes. I can now see it on itunes but nothing is coming up on the ipad.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can fix this.
Thanks.

Live id 'bubble' by language; msn/bing detects language settings

Because I value my privacy and really detest being 'bubbled' [force-fed geo-specific content] I like to use an anonymiser, in this case Anonymox. Recently, trying to set up a new hotmail address using a US IP, no cookies on board [either ordinary of flash] and a clean cache, I had the unsettling experience of the live-id signup site forcing me to a UK hotmail suffix based on I knew not what skerrick of info I'd unwittingly left snoopable by them.
Thanks to support @ a nonymox, it was discovered that the live-id sign on site was bubbling me according to my LANGUAGE SETTINGS! I basically prefer the UK version of the English language to the US version, and the site was trawling for this and using it to bubble me.
So I'm not aware of any setting within FF, or extension I could obtain, which would protect me against this sort of incursion by a website. Does anyone know of a 'Don't tell sites I visit ANY frigging thing about my machine, applications or settings[unless I give special permission]' extension?
OR
Could developers at FF please build this protection in?
Or is it just that I need to clue self in better re:strengthening privacy settings?
grrrRRR

the accept-language field is part of the basic http protocol & is sent in every http request header, see:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields]
[http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.4]
if you're uncomfortable with that, you can delete all language preferences in firefox as Gingerbread_Man has described

BlackBerry World disobeys device language settings

My copy of BlackBerry World plays smartass and displays Indonesian while I explicitly specify English as my language in device settings. Even worse is the fact that it's incomplete: there are still English phrases left in BlackBerry World here and there.
Is there a way to force BlackBerry World to not try to display a language it thinks I need and have it display the language I want instead?

Apple TV basing language settings on IP?

Hello. I am an American residing in Naples, Italy and today I noticed all movie descriptions were in Italian. No matter how many times I tried to reset the language settings it would revert back to Italian. What's worse is that the movies now all play with Italian overdubs. Please fix this issue or Apple TV will be useless to me and many others living overseas.
Any help appreciated.
Jim

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only use the iTunes Store in the location where you reside. Unless I'm unaware of other language settings the only ones I'm aware of are for the Apple TV menu language.
