Itunes has swapped to another language
Hi there, I recently turned my computer off and back on, but my Itunes for some reason changed languages. All my header bars are now in French. Everything else inside Itunes is in english and my region also states English, it is just the top header bars? Can anybody suggest how to correct this please?
CTRL+, (Comma) brings up preferences
General is the tab on the left
Language is the last drop down control
English (UK) & English (US) are 9th and 10th on the list
Close iTunes & reopen to effect the change
If that hasn't helped repair or reinstall iTunes.

ITunes U displaying in another language (German)
We have a couple of users in which the content that comes from Apple in iTunesU is being displayed in German, not English. It is only happening on specific computers. It is computer specific, not user specific. The content they create (specific to our site - Fairfield University), is in English, but default text that is populated by Apple (the links in a course, when modified data), is in German. Reinstalling iTunes does not fix the issue. Works fine on other computers. The computers have Windows XP SP2, iTunes 8.0.2. The language settings in iTunes is set to English and the computers language preferences in the control panel is set to English. Very weird. Any suggestions?
I have one student who is experiencing the same problem. Some of the content on his iTunes U page is in German some is in English. It's like the two languages are fighting.

I attempted to update iTunes yesterday. The update failed. iTunes now won't open and displays an error message that the program isn't localized and needs to be run in the English version. I'm in the US and the computer and program has never been used in another language. I tried reinstalling the full download for the new version and that failed as well. I logged out; shut down; restarted; retried the update; etc. Still no luck and the same message. Thoughts?

Thanks to user turingtest2 for this solution.
Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process. -
I tried to open iTunes but this pop up keeps showing.
This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. please run the english version
What should i do?Personally i would save all my existing items to another file. Delete the itunes and Download a new copy from Apple support pages and reinstall. Hopefully that won't have messed up your music. But if it does then delete all content fron Itunes and reimport your back up data

my laptop will not open iTunes, as it just says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version'. I have not synconised my iPhone 5S or iPad 2 with iTunes for well over a year. I noticed the music which had previously been put into iTunes has dissappeared from my phone and iPad. I also want to remove some movies from my iPad and iPhone and there is no way I can do this without being able to manually sync with the Laptop which is running windows 7. Has anyone else come across this and please can you help? I am no expert in fact I know very little about the Laptop, it is my Husbands baby but he doesn't understand anything to do with Apple including iTunes. I will need any advise explained step by step please.
Hi Shelady,
Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from the first link below. If that doesn't do it, the suggestions in the second article should resolve the installation issue.

I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the English version." You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!! What a piece of crap! If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute!
Strip it out and start again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

I have iTunes running on my Windows8 desktop for some while with no problems. Yesterday I purchased a song, deleted a free game app. and upgraded to the most current version of iTunes. This morning I could not pull up iTunes, so I retored my iTunes to a setting two (2) days ago. Now, as soon as I try to start iTunes I get a message stating: This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the Enclish version OK. So I hit the OK button and nothing happens. Please help.
