Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

HT2242 I can't read which is Edit or Preferences!!! duh! its in a foreign language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Can someone please help as apple itunes support would not accept my serial number which I entered correctly. Why does everything have to be sooooo difficult? I downloaded itunes and unistalled and installed several times with the same problem. Agreement comes up in a foreign language. I must have clicked the right one but now I can't work out which is Edit and Preferences or know how I click on Australian english from the language on the screen. Please helppppppppp...................

"Edit" is the second menu counting from the left.
"Preferences" is the bottom item in the Edit menu.
In the leftmost preferences tab, go down to the drop down menu at the bottom of the tab. Counting from the top, English UK is the 8th entry in the list.
Click the leftmost of the two buttons in the bottom-right-hand corner of the tab. (That's the OK button.)
Now restart iTunes. Are you back in English?

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

HT2242 When I open the icon it is in a foreign language and I do not get the box to Edit or to change my settings. Please someone help!!

I have just downloaded itunes to my laptop and requested the English (United States) version.
When I open the icon it comes up in a foreign language that I have no idea what it is and I am not sure how to change it to English.
what can I do to get it back to English??

Here's an excerpt from the ipod 5th gen. manual:
(Note that you won't see the names they give here in brackets, because they'll be in the wrong language. They give you the place where each of the functions are, to get you to the change the language function.)
" If you accidentally set iPod nano to use a language you don’t understand
You can reset the language:
Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.
Use the Click Wheel to find the menu item that causes the iPod nano device name to
appear in the preview panel, and then choose it. That’s the Settings menu.
Choose the last menu item (Reset Settings).
Choose the first item (Reset) and select a language. "

Unwanted foreign language that won't go away!!!

Hey
I recently had to reformat my hard drive and rebuild all the software on my laptop. Upon reinstalling itunes I notice that all the playlist titles are in a foreign language that I dont recognise.
Also in th preferences my library is entitled *Käyttäjän David kirjasto*
I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and it is exactly the same. I'm at a bit of a loss. Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how to get rid of it?

Hey there,
Have you tried this?
To change your language settings on a Windows PC:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Select the General tab.
On the Language pop-up menu (in the lower section of the window), choose your desired language.
Click OK.
Quit and reopen iTunes.

Itunes Store is now in foreign language

i just open itunes and went to store and it is now in a foreign language. Any ideas?

Click on the store icon and when it opens scroll to the bottom of the main pane where you'll find the "My Store" drop down menu. Click on the flag icon and choose the flag for the store you want from the window that appears. That should return you to a store displayed in English

Hello Likhil, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why have some of my toolbar settings suddenly appeared in a foreign language?

I tried to post a screen shot, but I can't paste here apparently. The toolbar line that has some of my icons, like Facebook, Skype, and YouTube, also contain items that appear to be written in Arabic or Greek or another foreign language.
Fore example, first one is: rockholmi.ru followed by a search bar, then a green arrow followed by the words: Hantn (both ns are small capital Ns and the first one has this symbol ~ over it. Next comes a globe with the words: Mehho. The first h is capitalized and the second capital H is attached to the o. When I pull down the menu items next to these words, they are also in these mysterious languages. However, the rest of my toolbar is in English! Help, please!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Cleaning out foreign language files

I installed the latest Micro-Smith Spring Cleaning Ap.
To save space I've been deleting foreign language files.
How many of these can be removed?
I've currently got 5627.
For example, do I need any Arab files?
I thought that when I initially installed Leopard I opted for only English, but the Spring Cleaning Language File Folder indicated that I had over six thousand.
MS Tech Support said, "I don't have the exact number of how many non english files there are. If you want, you can probably contact apple to see if they have an exact number of non-english files. To be honest, I would just leave it alone. Those files don't take up much space, and its not going to do your system any harm."
The files do take up space. If I don't need them why shouldn't I delete them?

As per one other respondent, I have used Monolingual with OSX (note:prior to Leopard. I haven't seen anything to confirm it won't mess up Leopard) but I haven't had any problems with it.
The advice it offers is to leave any file related to your main language - in other words if you use US English, keep International English. I also erred on the side of caution and kept anything that mentioned English. You can easily save about 2Gb of space doing this as it deletes a lot of project and help files related to apps like iDVD.
I'm no expert but if you opt for English as your installed language it might be the case that OSX installs in English but additional stuff like iLife still installs all the foreign language files.
It also gives you the option to remove unwanted processor architectures. I was wary of this option but I had no problems, although it didn't save quite as much space.
Good Luck

I'm getting a foreign language within my "tools, ad ons, extensions"... runnin XP with firefox 13. Tried going back to older versions of firefox with no success

Hi bluefleetwood, the options on this site are Mozilla's current support options for Firefox.
Try the addons site again in case it was a temporary problem, or if it's an SSL certificate problem, please indicate what the page says about the certificate.
You have a serif font for most of your Firefox UI. Can you let us know what font that is? Most likely it was selected in your Windows display settings (right-click Desktop, then Properties) and appears on many of your applications. It appears to be the same one for Menu text and Message Box text.

Need foreign language dictionaries

In Appleworks there are foreign dictionaries. I cant find these in Pages. Is there a way of using or importing a foreign language dictionary?
I often have to do some work in Spanish or French and would like to have these dictionaries available.
Pages vs. 3.01 was installed when I installed Leopard. I purchased my license via email. Is there something missing when you purchase iwork this way - like dictionaries?

If you want all new documents to use spell checking of another language, you have to go through the following steps, for each template you intend to use.
1. Open a new document with the template you want to use.
2. Open the Styles Drawer (View > Show Styles Drawer).
3. Select the first style in the list. (This is often "Free Form".)
4. Change the language in the inspector as described above.
5. Click on the red triangle to the right of the style name in the Style Drawer, and in the menu that pops up, choose "Redefine Style from Selection".
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for every Paragraph Style in the Style Drawer.
7. Go to File > Save as Template, and choose a good name of the template.
8. If you have only one template you always want to use, you can choose it in Pages > Preferences > General > For New Documents, where you select "Use template:..." and then click on Choose... and choose the template.
Note that you can have several styles in the same document for different languages. You can for example have one style called "French body" and another called "Italian body". You can even associate shortcuts to the styles, in the Styles drawer, so you quickly can change between one language and another.

How do you install foreign language fonts?

Does anyone know how to install foreign language fonts that doesn't come with iPad?

Nobody here has any way to tell you that, and Apple itself never provides this kind of info. Make sure you tell them you want it here:

(Even on a desktop/laptop Mac with the full version of OS X Ethiopic currently requires installing 3rd party software. I can provide the source if you are interested)
