Google Maps: Changed from English to Chinese with OS5

Here is the issue:
I bought an IPHONE4 in Hong Kong few month ago and I used it in CHINA with a chinese SIM card by China Mobile.
The Google Maps works fine and they are in ENGLISH and Chinese.
I have updated to OS5 few days ago and there you go...Google MAPS are now completely in CHINESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend had the same problem when he updaed his IPHONE3Gs to OS5 (IPHONE bought in ITALY with ITALIAN SIM Card).
I mean what the ****?!
My first IPHONE4 was bought in CHINA last year and at that time I had no idea that MAPS and all application linked to Google Map were in CHINESE! Even when I traveled abroad the MAPS were still in CHINESE (JAPAN and KOREA for example).
So I sold it and I bought and IPHONE in HK and MAPs were working as expected...in ENGLISH!
Is anyone out there able to provide a solution?
PS: I have not yet tried to restore my PHONE to the original settings. Maybe this is the solution?! Let's see!
Thanks

i also have posted another problem with the MAP.
I don't have the language issue but after i've update to OS 5, my map is not able to navigate such that it is not able to route to any location. However, it is able to locate my current location. I was able to nagviate with the older version OS than OS5.
Do you have this problem?
Also, the keyboard for Chinese has some changes. The PinYin boxes seems bigger.
I suspect bugs in OS5.

How to rename folders from english to chinese with trackpad?

So I have an iMac and I'm trying to rename some folders from english to traditional chinese. I have the trackpad and I know how to pull up the language input and everything. Sometimes I can rename folders to chinese and sometimes I can't. Any way to fix this?

I only use the handwriting IM. Using the normal keyboard IM takes too long because you have to do it phoenetically.
The point is to find out whether your problem is connected only to the handwriting IM or to Chinese in general. So could you perhaps try using the pinyin or other keyboard IM and see if the same problem exists or not?

HELP - iTunes has changed from English to Chinese

My iTunes was set up in English, but today I got a new phone (iPhone 5s - not sure if this is part of the problem) but when I started my iTunes, it was in a different language - maybe Russia. I closed it, and when I opened it again, it was in Chinese. I'm not sure how to change this back to English as I can't understand the Chinese symbols. How do I fix it? Thanks

Hi clare114,
If iTunes is in anther language, first check the language settings of Mac OS X. If you go to System Preferences and go to Language & Text to make sure that English is at the top. If all is good there and it looks more like content from the iTunes Store, then check to make sure that you are signed into the correct store region. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

TS1424 How comes my menu jumps from English to Chinese ? So **** annoying! How do I change it back? Someone please give advice. Thanks

It's on my iPad. In app store, my menu just suddenly jumped from English to Chinese. Anyone know how to change it back to a language I can understand?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
moving to the trash the com.apple.safari.plist preference file will reset Safari's preferences to the default values after you restart Safari. You can locate this file by going to the Finder - HD/Users/User Account/Library/Preferences folder.
Once Safari restarts, you can select your custom preferences, as well as add any address bar icons available i the View Menu>Customize Address Bar. Trashing the preference file ought to take care of your tab dilemma.

change the language of iphone from English to Chinese and iphope are not normally loaded and not opened. what can I do to restore it;

I found a fix for it, It turned out that the file that lists all of the songs on it got corrupt. I had to use 3rd party programs but it did work out in the end
Here is a link to where I found the fix: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3631590?start=0&tstart=0
I followed the instructions of Geekdad3 a little bit lower on the page.
Good luck for anyone else who has this problem

SAPScript Converting from English to Chinese...

Hi all,
I found a few guides on converting SAPScript form's language from English to Chinese.
So i tried a few...
There is this form that I am working on that couldn't be translated...
I. At the SAPScript's Header page, i tick 'X' - Translate to Individual language
2. Then I go to SE63 to do the translation... -> It gives me error 'Invalid codepage for language Chinese'
Any other consideration I need to take care before I convert a SAPScript form's language?
Thanks,
William Wilstroth

Hi,
Goto SE71, Menu bar Utilities, Copy from Client.
Give the STandard form name,
Zform name.
Execute.
Back,
Give the copied form name, change language to DE
Menu bar, Utilities,
Convert Original Language to EN
Open the form in EN and do modifications,
Now goto SE76,
Give the Zform name, Target language as ZH
Click on Change, first with radio button on Description,

The following may help you understand about deleting photos from a library:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

Why does the payment screen for the creative cloud change from english to portuguese?

Why does the payment screen for the creative cloud change from english to portuguese?
I'm trying to sign up for the photography creative cloud with lightroom 5 and photoshop. When I click on the "buy" button is takes me to the payment page, but my country changes from the U.S. to Argentina and the language changes also.
I've tried contacting Adobe, but they're ways of contacting them are a pain in the ***. The chat doesn't work and I'm on hold forever when I call.

When I click on Images the language changes from English!

I search using Google. I then click the Images icon/tab (top left).
Images are displayed however the language changes from English to (what looks like) German. Most bizarre. Any clues as to why this would occur?

Try to clear the Google cookies.
Does it help if you set the language to English via the gear icon > Settings?

MacBook Pro
Apple - Support - MacBook Pro
Mac OS Version builds
When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.
