ITunes showing up in a foreign language.

Alright, so my iTunes decided to change the language from English to a language that resembles Hebrew. I looked online to see if I could remedy the situation by myself and have found sites directing me to the International tab in System Preferences. I have made sure that English was my system default and have quit iTunes/restarted iTunes/restarted my Mac, all to no avail. I have also looked to see if the iTunes store was possibly under a different language, however, it is in English. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes and that has not worked either.
If there is any other way to change this, or if you need any other details about my system, please let me know.

This problem is normally caused by the font Lucida Grande.ttf being on your machine. Find it and dump it. Do NOT dump the font Lucida Grande.dfont, which is essential to your system.

Text in forms and some other websites show up in a foreign language, I think it is cantonese. How do i revert back to normal?

Form data shows up in a foreign language and im not quite sure how to change it back.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</nowiki></pre>

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

Webpages often show foreign language even after English made preference. How do I fix that?

When I go to websites, the text is in either a foreign language or wingdings. I never know when this will happen. Web sites that have never done this before are now doing it. I have to close Firefox and use Internet Explorer which I don't like. I have gone to options and made English (US) my preference, restarted the computer, but no change. This happens on websites I use often. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thank you.

There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.

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).

My mac will not open the adobe reader, it shows a foreign language in the response box when I try to open up something from the internet?

Please help, My Mac will not open when I rtry to download something from the internet, a box with foreign language appears in the textbox?

I have seen this a couple of times over the last few days here in the forum; the Reader 11.0.7 plugin for Mac displays the message in Japanese. Here is the English translation.
Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement then quit and relaunch the browser.
Do it, and the message will disappear.

Let me try again! Foreign Language HELP!!

I have my game app (suitable for all foreign languages) on iTune Store and wanted to test the keyword "knife" in the search textfield and my app showed up and I changed the language in Japanese, tested "ナイフ" (knife in Japanese) and my app didnt showed up and also noticed the screenshots and the descriptions arent in Japanese, but in English? I wondered if that applies to all of the foreign languages as well???
What do you think that cause the problem? Should I worry about it?
Thanks and please respond!

We're other users here....but my best guess is you should see what happens after changing over to the Japanese iTunes store. The USA store is all English.
store home page, very bottom, has the link to change the country.

Reading XML file having various foreign languages from web application.

Greeting..
I'm dealing with a so-called serious problem where-in:
I've to read one of the configuration files(XML files) having values in different foreign languages (like Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc). I've to read that file contents, in as it is form, in such a way that user can read / change the data from the web application.
I'm showing the XML file inside the TextArea (the HTML <textarea> tag. While reading this file, it got converted to junk values instead of actual ones. While saving this file it changes those original values to junk in file as well.
I'm using SAX parser with DefaultHandler.
Better suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Do NOT display the characters to determine the problem. Instead take a small sample and print the numeric values. And do that at each stage/layer until they do not match.

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.

Foreign language Invoice

I am using SAP B1 2007A version and would like to be able to invoice in other languages. I have setup in ADMIN/SYSTEM Initi/Company Details to enable Foreign Languages. So now I can go to a B/P and set is to another language e.g Spanish. It also gives me the Option in Items to Translate an Item Description into Spanish. Next step was to design a PLD which is set to SPANISH (in doc layout) and indeed it picks up the Spanish translation. (I have assigned the SPANISH PLD to the relevant BP)
However, if I follow the same logic for other fields, it does not seem to work:
1. I have translated Method of payment field and I am unable to pick the traslated version in the PLD. ( I used OPYM table and neither the Description field or Payment Method Code field seem to work). I have spoken to somebody who has SAP b1 2007 version B and told me that it works on his version?
2. Since option 1 did not work, I have created a UDF for method of Payment and translated this. However after placing this field to the SPANISH Pld report, it does not pick up the translation. B1 2007B seems to be OK but my versionA does not seem to work.
Does anybody know if this is a bug? Am I missing something in my setup?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
Robert

Hi Carlos
Sorry, I m not sure how I made this work but I think that it was related to the fact that if your Item is part of a Product Group then you need to ensure that the Group also has a Spanish Translation, otherwise all the Items which are part of this Group, will not show.

Microsoft Word Templates in Foreign Language

I just bought Microsoft Office 2008 for my Macbook (with Leopard) and I was looking at the Project Gallery templates and if I open up any of the templates for Microsoft Word, all of the words are in different languages and I cannot even look at the template and get ideas of what to use them for. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how to change everything to English? Also, I downloaded a demo of extra stationary for Mail, and again, all of the templates are in a different language. If anyone could help, that would be great, thanks.

That isn't a foreign language. It is "desktop publishing nonsense". It is just filler text to show you what real text might look like. It always starts with "Lorem Ipsum" or something like that. They have been using this text for many, many years. It is kind of Microsoft's way of subtly telling people that Word is now good enough to use for desktop publishing. If you double-click on that text, it will go away and you can type your own text in there.
