Lion system language

Will probably have to purchase a MacAir in Chile. Know they come with Spanish keyboard layout, not a major issue. But the system language is. Can the OS simply be set to English? Have not visited an Apply store here yet, not the easiest to get to.

Thanks. Will purchase next week. 11¨MacBook Air, 256GB, 4GB. My only issue was the OS in English.
This works.

I have just expereinced the same issue. I have a work around for you.
If you have a Snow Leopard Install CD you can boot from that by holding the C key upon boot up or hold down the option key and select the install CD.
Once launched select continue and then select your language. You will then have access to a tools/utilities menu where you can reset passwords. You select you System Disk and you will notice that you accounts are still missing however you should have access to re-set the root account / pw. Set it to a secure password - after all this is the highest level account on your machine.
Once done - restart into lion again and login into the root account. Username root with password you specified earlier. Once logged into the system - you should still find your old user folder still intact. I would suggest re-naming this account and add suffix _original if you intend on creating a new account with the same name. The username of the folder is based on the short name you input when you create an account.
You can then go into system preferences / users and groups and create a new account with the same short name. After this - I renamed the new user account to _delete and renamed my original account to its former name by removing the _original (as i kept the same short username) Log out and login with your original account - it may ask you to sync your keychain if you have changed your password from the original - in this case provide the previous password.
This worked for me - good luck.
I agree this is unaccaptable for Apple to release an upgrade with a bug like this. Good luck - hope it works for you

Different Safari and system language

Hi, I would like to ask, if it is possible to have different system language (System Preferences > Language/Religion/Preferred Languages) and Safari language. The problem is, that I want to have my Mac in english (Preferred Language - English), but Safari in Czech language, because if I set my Mac language english, then safari automatically turns pages into english language, and i have to click back on the Czech flag. I'm sure everybody knows the option which some webpages have - its usually on upper right corner, where are two or more flags depending on what language do you want to have the webpage.
Theres an option in Chrome to change this (Chrome > Preferences > Show Advanced Settings > Languages > Language and imput settings), but for Safari I'll have to figure it out by Terminal or something I believe..I don't know. Eventually that's why I'm here asking you.
Thx a lot guys! x)

Funny is that before Lion or Mavericks there was no Czech language option in System Preferences, so I had to use English, but Safari didn't have problem automatically set language of the pages into Czech.
Before there was a Czech localization, you could use the Edit button to put Czech at the top of the list in system preferences and the OS would stay in English but Safari would ask for Czech web pages. But I don't know how Safari could ask for Czech pages without doing that.

HT5361 I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do this by year instead of laboriously doing it one message at a time?

I want to permanently remove years old emails from my IMac Mountain Lion system. How can I do so by year rather than slowly removing one message at a time? Many thanks.

Another option is to create a smart mailbox that includes emails with date received before a desired date.
Then, select one message in the Smart Mailbox and cmd-A to select all. Then delete.

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

Severia,
I tried your solution, but it did not work with my laptop. After I restart the laptop, the language does not change and I cannot type the password in English language. Do you have any other suggestion?
Thank you.

To export system language to a browser using CALL_BROWSER

Hello Experts,
I am triggering a search help exit with the search help in my R\3 system, which indirectly takes me to the netweaver system via RFC. In the Netweaver function module I have used the call_browser FM to call a browser. While defining the URL I want to export the system language ( the one where my search help is present) in the browser. Please let me know , by calling which FM in my Netweaver system I can export system language parameter to the browser.

Hi Calvin!
This isn't possible. Applets just can handle events inside its phisical area as they run in a security model called "sandbox". Using class netscape.javascript.* possiblies interaction between applets and javascripts but there are many constraints and finally method "showDocument()" just open a new http address.
Regards.

I have a problem to update some apps on my book , giving me error everytime , i have download the lion system

i have a problem when i update some apps from app store on my macbook pro, giving me error everytime , i've update my system from leopard snow to lion system ..what should i do ? thank you .

Hi...
Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
If you still have problems updating your apps, if you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
If you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent apps from updating.

W530 system language problem

Hello!
I have W530 laptop; purchased it from Germany, but I do not speak German at all.
After purchase on the first boot it offered me to choose system language (there was a note that it is not possible to change it later). There were 2 choices - German or English. I chose English and was happy until 2 days ago I decided to restore Windows to its original state. I created recovery disks and successfully restored C partition of my machine.
The problem is that there was no option to change the language anymore. There were those "select your country and keyboard layout" menus. But it was all in German. I thought that I had missed that point of choosing language, so restored C partition once more and looked very carefully through all the menus on the first boot, but it is not there.
I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. I found that I need ultimate for windows to support language packs etc.
Is there anything I can do besides acquiring normal windows on torrent mall? How do I get that choice between german and english languages?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Cannot sync apps / app icons distorted - if system language is non-English

1. If I select Russian(my native language) as the system language, the Apps section/tab does not appear fully when I click on it. The Apps tab is selected, but it shows the contents of the Summary tab. I cannot sync apps with my iPhone.
2. The icons of the apps appear black and distorted.
Here is a screenshot: http://i066.radikal.ru/1005/4c/e732b7b093de.jpg
If I select English in the System Settings, the Apps tab appears fully and the apps icons are displayed properly, so I can sync apps.

Azerty keyboard but english system language: what is the shortcut for forwards??

Hello,
I had to buy a new computer and since I live in France, I bought a second hand, but almost new one, with a french keyboard. Apple assured it was possible to set english as the main system language and use a french keyboard.
But when I'm in Safari and I want to go forward, I can't do it like I used to, because there is no "hook"-key on the french keyboard!
What to do now, if I want to use a keyboard shortcut instead of the mouse and menu?
thanks in advance!

it works with shift, alt, cmd, ( all at the same time!
Good news! Yes, that is the same as Apple (=command) + [ on the US keyboard. It just takes a lot more keys, shift plus alt plus ( , to make the [ on the French keyboard.

System language (Mac OS D1-9.2.2)

Hi there
I've got the last Mac OS 9 installed on my Power Macintosh G3 (as mentioned in the subject).
If I want to start QuarkXPress, either 4.11 or 5.0, an error message occures and tells that "This version of QuarkXPress Passport cannot run with this system [4]".
Where can I change my system language that QuarkXPress will run as it did before?
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Hi, afitsch -
"This version of QuarkXPress Passport cannot run with this system [4]"
At Quark's support website, Tech Support article ID 294 provides this response to that error -
• The language version of your copy of QuarkXPress must be compatible with the language version of your operating system. If you installed the Mac OS 8.x Setup Assistant, launch it, and follow the directions on-screen to make sure the regional preferences for your operating system are set to a language that matches your version of QuarkXPress.
• If the language versions of your copy of QuarkXPress and your operating system match and you still get this alert, check to make sure you have the correct Mac OS keyboard layout selected (Apple Menu > Control Panels > Keyboard).
You have described your installed OS 9 as version D1-9.2.2. The "D1" indicates it is the German language version.
Unlike OSX (which has a default install of multi-language capability), all OS 9 installs are single language only. That is, the native language of the OS is unchangeable; each stand-alone OS 9 Install CD is capable of installing only one language.
This means that to change the native language of an OS 9 install, it is necessary to re-install the OS via Clean Install using an install disk for the new language.
You can, however, use different keyboard layouts. The Mac comes pre-equipped with various ones. Setting which ones are available is done via the Keyboard control panel - checkmark the language keyboard layouts you want available, then use the Keyboard Layout menu that will appear in the main menubar to change the active layout (that menu is the one represented by a flag next to the menubar clock).

How can change the system language on my S4 to Italian?

I would like to change the system language on my S4 to Italian but that is not an option. In fact, there are only about six choices of language, which is ridiculous for the type of phone. How can I add languages? I know people with the same phone on other carriers that can do this very easily from system settings.

I know Italian is not currently an option. That is the reason for my question. I would like to change the system language to Italian. Any third party apps, as you recommend, require the phone to be rooted and I do not want to do that. Why is it that the same phone on other carriers has a wide selection of languages to choose from but Verizon's version only has six options to choose from? You have the ability to change the keyboard language, which I did, but not the system language.

Spell-checker keeps changing to US English when system language order is changed

When I switch the order of preferred system languages in System Preferences' Language and Text section, the spell-checker's language often changes to 'US English', even though it's disabled on my computer as I prefer the British spell-checker. My current preferred language order is 'British English', followed by 'English' and 'German'. US English is completely disabled as a system language. When I go and check the 'spelling' option in the Language and Text panel, the spelling is set to US English (even if it had British English set before, which it has done since I initially set up my language options) and I have to see unsightly red underlines under words like colour and realise. Whilst this is easy to change I would rather not have to constantly change it back to British every time I do this. Does anyone else experience this, and is there a way to prevent the US English zombie from rising again?
I'm using OS X 10.8.4.

It may be a general category, but in practice I have never seen a piece a software where English will give any other localization than American English. Have you?
I doubt that switching OS languages is something many people do more than once. Still, you are right that it should go back to the original setting. Let Apple know via
