Itunes Connect Primary Language.

Question

Sorry copy and paste another discussion, its archivied.
But pass 3 year and nothing change.
Me, another Brazilians and lots of  Germans, Japanese and all anothers people who dont have english like native language have the same problem.
You set your native language in first time in iTunes Connect and done, in any place where you cant set a especify language your app will show in your native language. Punish Russian or Chinese (or ...)  to see portguese, german or japanese (or ...) description.
What the workarround? Can I make another developer enroll with the same finacial documentation?

unfortunately not even this helps! I also made german my primary language and it seems - like in canada - they get always the german description for my software alsthough I added the english description to every other localisation avaiable...even canadian french! Well, no luck! There seems to be an error in the system. I mailed this about 10 times to Apple but no answer so far. I'm getting bad reviews there just because Apple shows the wrong text. Well anyway: Enter the english text in every other localisation tab! That will minimize the error! TO ALL OTHER GERMAN DEVs: Don't use german as your primary language!!!
Macht es bloß nicht! Stellt lieber auf Englisch als Hauptsprache und gebt dann nur die Deutsche Fassung der Texte eimal ein. Das Web-Interface ist sowas von lahm...da bekommt man graue Haare während des Wartens! Nachträglich ändern ist leider nicht mehr...in diesem Sinne: "Lasst mich hier liegen, für mich ist es zu spät. Aber ihr könnt weiter machen. Geht und rettet die Mission!" ;o) 
I am a Japanese developer and am facing a huge trouble with iTunes Connect localization.
If your primary language on iTunes Connect is German, you need to enter the English description and screenshots for every localization (UK English, Italian, French, Japanese, ...). But what is problematic is the rest of the world which doesn't has particular localization settings (Australia, Canada, etc).
In these "rest of the world" countries, your primary language is used and we can't change it. In your case, the description and screenshots are displayed in German in these countries. In my case, it is in Japanese and this is a huge problem as Japanese is used ONLY in Japan! Actually, the sales figure of these countries are clearly low and in some countries, I received terrible comment and worst rate as my app is introduced in the language they are not familiar with.
I am asking Apple to solve this problem, but am not sure if they do something.

Thanks for the note Chataka. We have been looking at what languages other than English we should be developing for. I'll be sure to use your 'hard' learning when we make the jump to internationalization.
If you can't get it sorted out, I recommend you hunt down the iphone dev. support phone number and see if you can get guidance directly from Apple.
