Just purchased new ipad. screen in foreign language and says "Dang dat Ngon ngu? What's going on??

The easiest AND quickest way would be to reset the iPad and start over.
Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset.

New Ipad suddenly switches to foreign language

I just purchased the New Ipad yesterday, and it looks like I will have to go through the trouble of getting another one. I have done EVERYTHING. I have contacted support and reconfigured the entire system, and the problem remains. When I try to get an app, the language for the app store, game center, etc. changes to german (some things are still english, and some german...seems random), and there is no way to switch it back without hooking the device to my computer and pretty much wiping out the entire system and starting fresh (a good 2 hour process), just to have it happen AGAIN. This Ipad was purchased for my speech-impaired father, and we got the Ipad for it's "easy" configuration and app selection (for assistive speech apps). That is the only reason we got it, and we can't even use it for that one reason. On top of this, the apps will not even download (though that could be because all the confirmation boxes suddenly switch to a language I cannot read). This is ridiculous. This is the first apple product we have purchased, and we are far from impressed. I really want to smash it because it is worthless. Is anyone else having this kind of problem? I know I am a new apple user, but I am not stupid...even the technical person from apple support told me if the reconfiguration didn't work I'd have to get a new one. What a hassle!

Try this again - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

These are user to user help forums. To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

Hi. I was trying to open some pdf files and got a message my adobe reader was deinstalled. I installed a new version of Adobe Reader for Mac and when trying to open a PDF file I am getting a message in a foreign language. Any suggestions?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Stuck in recovery with foreign language can't insatll os COMPLICATED!!

Stuck in recovery (lanuage is set to foreign country and not changing when clicking on any other country) no wifi connecting tried ethernet not working? Just bought from ebay..2010 macbook pro..it was working fine when first put it on then i wiped the hard drive and tried to reinstall os mavericks but i cant understand any if of it because its in foreign language setting i go up to the right hand corner and change the language but it still just stays the same? I think the airport card could be broke? I put in ethernet and it read it as working but still wouldn't letting me install os? Could someone help?

A late 2011 MBP came with Lion (10.7). Since you say that you have erased the HDD, I suggest that you do the following:
YOU WILL NEED A SOLID INTERNET CONNECTION.
Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.
That should result in a display with a revolving globe.
This will connect you to the Apple servers and allow you to install the original OSX (LION).
Follow the instructions.
Installing Lion will create your own account with Apple.
Then you may download and install Mavericks (10.9) from the App store..
Ciao.

My new iPad3 is set to English language but iTunes and app store are in a foreign language. how do I change this?

My iPad3 is working great but iTunes and app store are in foreign language that I can't understand. Need help changing these programs to english. Other programs are in english and settings is set up for english. thanks, Jim

As far as I know the language of the two stores on the iPad (iTunes and the App Store) can't be changed - they should be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

What can I do about suddenly getting certain foreign language pages etc.?

A few days ago I suddenly started getting Yahoo's Netherlands' home page, whenever I went to check my e-mail. I had to click on the US tab to the back of the Netherlands' one, to even try to get on the US page. Then when I tried to sign in, the page made me answer a bunch of security questions, because it said I was trying to sign on from an "unrecognized device", even though I was using my computer like I always do. That happened again & again, then last night I could go right to the US page, by typing the URL or using a bookmark, but I still got ads down the sides etc. of the e-mail page, in a foreign language.
Well now today I suddenly noticed on my AOL e-mail page, I'm getting foreign language ads too!! And just a few minutes ago I got the Yahoo Netherlands' home page again!!
I e-mailed Yahoo about the problem a few days ago, but got no response, not even an automated one.
All other sites seem to be OK. I tried a link given to me by someone in a Delphi Forums group, for help if Google loads in a foreign language, but it doesn't for me, & I don't get any foreign ads when I'm in gmail.
Whatever the problem is, it's getting worse. And I really need to know how to fix it, before it starts affecting other pages/sites, & I'm not able to get on any I can understand. Please help!!

Hello,
I loaded Firefox again, but that still didn't change anything. I went into my profile the same day, through a link on the trouble-shooting page, but there was nothing there except my user name!! I tried it again with the link you provided, but that screen said to close out Firefox entirely, & just use Windows. Well, that didn't work as the screen described it would, & so I couldn't do that either.
Yesterday I contacted a fellow I know who owns a programming, repair, etc. business, in another part of my state. He sent me a link for a mega spyware program. It found a Trojan etc., but cleaning those off my computer didn't help. He also told me the same as you all did, to load a "clean" copy of Firefox. I did that again just this morning, but nothing has changed. Since as I said, I can't seem to do anything with any sort of profile, I don't know what in the world to try now!! The guy told me yesterday also, that if loading Firefox again didn't help, that I might have what I think he called a "host error/problem", & he said those are quite difficult to fix.
So, thanks for all your efforts. Unless anybody else here has some ideas, I guess I'm stuck with the problem, & with a computer I don't "trust", even with the new mega spyware etc. program I loaded yesterday!

Problem with charsets for foreign languages

hi
i have a problem with a webapplication
in my webapplication i have some code that gets data from a webpage of another webapplication. This other web application can use many foreign languages
the problem is that those foreign languages contain some special characters, and those special chars aren't displayed the right way
this is the code to get the data from the other webapp
private static StringBuffer getContent(String sUrl) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
        StringBuffer content = new StringBuffer();
        URL url = new URL(sUrl);
        HttpURLConnection httpURLConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        httpURLConn.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
        BufferedReader buffReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpURLConn.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        while ((inputLine = buffReader.readLine()) != null) {
            content.append("\n" + inputLine);
        return content;
    }as you see , i tried to set the encoding to UTF-8 but that did not solve the problem

How do I purge foreign language files from OS X, 10.8, without using purchased software?

I jumped from Snow Leopard on an older MBP to a new MBP with Mtn Lion already installed, and though my older MBP had all but English and Spanish languages deleted from the Snow Leopard install, it appears that I do now have many foreign languages I would rather not have on my hard disk. I ran across an app from Stellar Software, Speedup Mac, that has a demo version, but without paying the $29 purchase price purging of language files cannot be done. (It was this app that showed me that all those other languages were hidden on my drive.) I am simply wondering if there is lesser expensive apps for stripping languages from 10.8 or simple command line instructions that I (not a usual Terminal user) could use to accomplish this "downsizing". BTW, I'm not too keen on reinstalling 10.8 just to purge the unwanted languages. I've got plenty of hard drive space (yes, it is HDD not Flash-based) but I think this new MBP would start up faster w/o the extra files. Despite going from an MBP with a Core2Duo to an MBP with a Corei5, my new machine is way slower starting up. Much gracias everyone.

I recommend that you do not do this. Extraneous language files do not occupy much space, and removing them has been known to break future upgrades for those apps. There is also no way to undo their removal, short of restoring your system from a backup.
Your computer's performance is unaffected by the presence of these localized language files. Deleting them will result in no performance improvement whatsoever. Localized language resources are stored in resource folders contained within each app. They load what is required according to your specifed settings in System Preferences.

Using a foreign language with the Java I/O, and saving to flat file.

I want to use a foreign language in my program, in particular, russian. I want to be able to input the russian text into a GUI and then save the data in a flat file as well as retrieve it again. I am able to save some type of data to the flat file but it is unreadable. Question marks or some other unreadable characters appear instead.
I am also not able to write in a foreign font. Can someone give me some advice for how to input a foreign language into with a GUI, save the information in a flat file, and retrieve it again.

If you have got a String in Java somehow regardless of interior encoding mode, you can write it in a text file with an encoding you would like (e.g., UTF8).
//import java.io.*;
String str = "ABCEDFG";
try{
   BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("out.txt"),"UTF8"));
   bw.write(str);
   bw.close();
}catch(IOException ioe){
    //process
}

How can i set predictive text to a foreign language

I'm new to apple and iPhones. I've got everything setup in English but I frequently want to send text and/or email messages in French. When I do this predictive text jumps in and changes things to what it thinks I want in English. e.g. if I type tous it predicts I want toys and inserts it accordingly. How can I set predictive text to a foreign language.
(p.s. my wife's iPad works fine as it has a button to press for alternative language but I don't see anything similar for iPhone)

Reading a text file with foreign language characters

I'm trying to convert foreign language characters to English looking characters. I have code that works, but only if I hard code the string with foreign language characters and pass it to the function. I cannot figure out how to get my program to read
in the foreign characters from my file, they come in as garbage.
Since the function works when I pass a hard coded string to it, I'm pretty sure the problem is the way I have the Streamreader set up, it's just not reading the characters correctly...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader "m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with English characters
Function removeAccent(ByVal myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
I know that removing the accent changes the meaning of the word, but this is what the user wants so it's what I need to do.
Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)
Thanks!
Joni

Finally got it to work. I had to remove the first 5 characters from the replacement string (ŠŽšžŸ), couldn't find encoding that would handle these, and to be honest, I didn't really need them. The important ones are still there, was probably
just overkill on my part.
UTF7 worked for the rest...
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim FileRdr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m:\test\charReplace.txt", System.Text.Encoding.UTF7)
Dim ReplaceWrtr As StreamWriter
ReplaceWrtr = System.IO.File.CreateText("M:\test\CharReplaceOut.txt")
Do While FileRdr.Peek() >= 0
Dim currentRec As String = FileRdr.ReadLine
removeAccent(currentRec)
ReplaceWrtr.WriteLine(currentRec)
Loop
ReplaceWrtr.Close()
End Sub
'Replace foreign language characters with english characters
Function removeAccent(ByRef myString As String)
Dim A As String = "--"
Dim B As String = "--"
Const AccChars As String = "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars As String = "AAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
For i As Integer = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
myString = Replace(myString, A, B)
Next
removeAccent = myString
End Function
Thanks for all your help! Greatly appreciated :)
