Set English language in other regions

When I first installed Snow Leopard, I selected Italy as region but with english language.
As a result, under Language & Text in System Preferences, my region in the Formats was set to "Italy (English)", that is the italian format but with months and days names in english.
I accidentally changed that setting and selected "Italy (Italian)" and now I see months and days names in italian but with system language set to english.
I tried to restore the original setting, but there is no "Italy (English)" option under regions.
I also tried to change in italian the system language and then change it back to english, but the days names are still in italian.
Aside from defining a Custom format, is there a way to restore the "Italy (English)" original setting?
Thank you

Hi again Sgab,
I did try setting it to en_IT here and it's worked as expected. Perhaps it's because we are using different versions of OS X (mine is 10.7.4).
As a last resort, you might want to try setting the system-wide preferences like that (instead of only for your user which the previous command did):
defaults write -g AppleLocale en_IT
Now "defaults read -g AppleLocale" should return en_IT.
Even if that doesn't work, I noticed that it's possible (and possibly it's the only recommended way of doing that) to set an equivalent configuration like that:
In System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Formats:
- In the Regions menu select an English speaking country that has a date/time format you like
- In Currency menu select your currency format
- Also make sure the Measurement units menu is correct

  • [Solve]Set ibus as default IM when use other english language in gnome

    Hello everybody,
    I am satisfied with Arch + Gnome3 + Ibus in English language. With English language, Ibus is already set to default system-input-methods as well as I expected.
    However, today I change language from english to vietnamese, System-input-methods change to other method, not Ibus.
    I looked for programs to change input method such as im-settings, im-chooser and im-switch, but it's not exist in arch package or aur.
    I add "export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"" to file ~/.bashrc , I can use Ibus only in firefox, libreoffice. To use Ibus with other programs as gedit, gnome-terminal, I must manual change input method by right click and choose Ibus.
    So, How can I set Ibus as default system IM?
    By the way, I can use Ibus in all Qt applications without trouble after set in qtconfig.
    Thanks for reading.

    Well, I set: LOCALE="vi_VN.UTF-8" instead of LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8" by default in file "/etc/rc.conf" and it's solved.

  • How do I set date to ANSI standard format (YYMMDD) with the english language?

    Having difficulty with dates displayed in FireFox
    Microsoft desktop settings in Regional and Language options:
    YY MM DD (ANSI standard date format and Canadian Government standard (although dd mm yy and mm dd yy) are in common use)).
    Firefox setting: cannot find YY MM DD option, so used English/United Kingdom (DD MM YY) format
    An option for English language with ANSI date would be awesome.
    Is there a way to have Firefox display YY MM DD format without loosing English language?

  • No English language setting with European date formatting available

    The English language setting in my iPod bought in Finland forces date format to the American MM/DD/YYYY style. There is no English language setting that would result in the European DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format.
    Either making date formatting separately configurable (as time formatting already is), or adding another English locale with European-style date formatting solves this problem.

    Yes I agree, date format should be language independant. This is very annoying!

  • I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

    LizMaddock,
    you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

  • Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

    Inspector > Text > More > Language
    Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
    It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

    I recentley bought a ipod touch 5.01,set all language to English.....every thing i view is in English except when i view (open) itunes or apps store it is in German, I live in England, I was born in England, and i speak only English. I want my itunes and apps store to open and display in English. I have messaged the apple help and telephoned the help, both was helpful but no matter what i do in setting (even in reset, which i've done) my ipod will keep reverting back to German in Itunes and Apps store.

    You can only use the German iTunes/App store if you are located in Germany.  The German store is in the German language.

  • How to download and Install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language in Windows 7 64bit

    OBIEE 11G Installation error during configuration steps with message "Distributing Repository" failed.
    I searched lot of forums but all they say, install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language. From where we can download this package.
    Thanks in advance.

    But I am assuming that when I make the installer, the 32-bit Run Time Engine is appened with the installer, as show below
    Since from the picture you can see its including the support installers from '\Program Files (x86)\'
    The application runs queries to fetch data from database in SQL server 2008, and for that I am using a Microsoft SQL Native Client 2008 R2 64 bit ( this is the only version that installs on either PC, even the one on which I developed my LV Application).
    I am not using any driver, only toolkits for reports - and for that I un-checked the "Remove unused polymorphic VI instances" when making the executable, otherwise LV throws up an exception that share variable are not being included.
    Yes I did reboot every time after I ran the installation.
    Still getting the same error.

  • How to set default language for typing english if my OS language is russian?

    Hi.  I cant figure out how to set english as default typing language. Opening Skype, new browser window, vpn client, switches my input to russian (my os language). Especially this annoys if im trying to enter login and password.

    oleg.lestat wrote:But still when i setting cursor in Google Chrome addrese bar, or my vpn client password field it switches to russian
    Changeing language (e.g. to have english menues or keybord layout) on a system, took place in applications too only if the application supports that language, or uses by default the system librarys to adopt the language settings.
    Not all applications use automatically the system librarys of your Mac for language settings or spell checking. Most will do so, some only during installation, some never.
    Applications can have own language settings others have only the installation language available.
    Have you checked this on Chrome (Wrench -> Options -> Advanced -> Change Fonts and language settings -> Language -> Google Chrome language) and your VPN Client?

  • How to set AppStore language to English If my Billing in another country?

    I'm really upset cuoldn't find answer still, and only found that it's impossible to set language to English, if, let's say,my billing address is in Russia.
    What if I'm traveling or can only have access to card in different country?
    I agree to see some Russian apps in AppStore, but some Applications switch to Russian as well as soon as I pick it as my country. (e.g. Reminders, the whole app is in Russian though I have English set in Settings).

    Go to Settings/General/Reset and choose Reset All Content and Settings. This will erase everything on the iPhone and allow you to set it up again as new with the proper Apple ID.
