HT3155 How can I change the language for Finder to British English?

Hi, I've been using a mac for almost all my life but recently something has been really bothering me on my new macbook air.
The finder window has a category called 'favorites' which to a native of the UK is incredibly annoying.
This has been a slight issue before.. the last version of pages used US English as its preference but you could get round it and it has since been corrected in the the new version. Finder is a completely different story. British English is down as my preferred language in System Preferences..so how can I change Favorites to Favourites?!

The 33 languages which the Finder (and all menus and dialogues) can appear in are listed in the tech specs:
https://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
"English" on that list  meana US English.  Apple has not so far offered a British English localization, but you can ask for one via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Putting British English at the top of the list should make that the default spell check language, but will not change the menus and dialogues, except in an app where that has been especially provided for.  I think iTunes may do it.

  • How can I change the language of Pages from british english to American english, the new pages for mavericks

    I bought my computer on Ecuador, so it is in spanish the physical keybord, but after updating to Mavericks and updating Pages, each time I write something it corrects me to british language, for example if i write down analyze with a z, it would correct me and change the z to an s because of the language, please help.

    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Language > drag English to the top of the list
    "English" according to Apple is what everyone else would call American English.

  • How can I change the language for the Quiz Results page?

    How can I change the language for the Quiz Results (labels on buttons and text labels)? Is this possible only manually each time, or are general settings possible?

    For Quiz Slides you've already added to your project file you will need to change the labels manually.  If you change your Quiz Settings and Master Slides that control the defaults and then add new Quiz Slides, THEN those slides will carry your new settings.

  • How can I change the language of the App Store application for my ipod touch?

    How can I change the language of the App Store application for my ipod touch?

    These instructions are for changing the language for the Ipod Touch, but they don't change the language for the App store and the Reminders Application. 
    I think these two might be driven by the IP address of your location.  In my case, I am in Spain and have my Ipod Touch set to English, but for the App store and Reminders, it appears in Spanish.
    I would like to be able to change them to English if possible.  I don't see any options within those applications to make this change.
    Does anyone know how to make these changes?
    Many thanks.

  • How can I change the password for the USER in SAP.

    How can I change the password for the USER in SAP?
    also I want to change the Language and  date Format b/c it's displaying in German language..

    Hi,
    Assuming that User has already his/her user-id and password, and now he/ she wants to change it.
    select the client and provide Log-in credentials. Now, instead of 'ENTER' there is one Tab: 'New Password' (up, left hand). Click it.
    Now, system will ask for new password to change.
    If you are asking from Basis point of view, then T.code: SU01 - User Maintenance.
    Enter User's id and Click Change icon.
    It will lead to Page: Maintain User.
    Here, Select tab: Logon Data
    There is a Sub-Tab: Password.
    Here, key-in change password and SAVE.
    For Language and Date format, contact your Basis-Personnel.
    Best regards,
    Amit
