The built in dictionary in iOS 6 is translating to the wrong language.

I have both the English and French dictionaries downloaded. I was trying to find the definition of a word in English, and because it can be spelled the same in French, I got the definition in French, although I want it in English. Among the many problems of iOS 6, this is one of them.

Same here. My preferred keyboard language is German, but I also have English and Japanese installed. Whenever I want to look up a word the dictionary in iOS 6 selects English-Japanese although I might want to simply want to look up a definition in English.
Is there really no other way to change this without temporarily switching off Japanese keyboard support? Feels like a bug to me...

    The problem came with the iOS6 update, but in addition, this update deleted my YouTube icon and now I can't find it in App Store.
    Does anyone know something about?,
    It was removed from iOS.
    YouTube has released an iPhone app but not oe specifically for the iPad.
    You can access YouTube through Safari here -> http://m.youtube.com
    Or get an app from the App store such as this -> Jasmine - YouTube Client

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
    and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
    and select 'inadvertently purchased' as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes, which it is currently doing for me) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.

  • I am using the wrong language to access a secure website. How can I change it to English?

    I am trying to access my university account from a computer in Germany and while I can access some features, such as e-mail, it is not allowing me access to my secure faculty account. The message I am getting is that I am using the wrong language, i.e. German, to access my account. How can I change the language to English, since the computer automatically uses German.

    Put the link of the website into Google translate at [http://translate.google.com/#de|en|], then click the translate button. You will then get a link on the right hand side of the page which will take you to a translated version of the page.

  • Why is the wrong language appearing in various iCloud communications?

    I get emails from iTunes, first welcoming me to iTunes and more annoyingly the notification of a shared photostream are in the wrong language. It's not a big deal with a regular emails, I can ignore them. But the notification of the shared photossteam from the iPad is not good. My friend replied he didn't understand Korean. :-)
    This has been ongoing and few people have complained, I found it amusing until I tried to share a Photo Stream.
    I checked all of my devices, everything is set to the US. The address and credit card is a US address. I signed out of everything, I really mean every instance of my Apple ID on every device was signed out. I powered all of them off and signed back in to just the iPad sent an invitation to myself and what resulted was the screen shot I attached.
    Now, if there are no suggestions, (I'm doubt there will be), how do I inform Apple of this problem?
    Thanks,
    RS

    Check out my post tonight as I think I have worked it out and it is a weird one:

  • HT1824 Since I accidentally clicked on the wrong language, I don't know what my IPOD Nano is telling me to do/not to do.  I'm hitting the home button and nothing is happening.

    Hello,
    Bought a Nano today and trying to set it up.  Selected the wrong language.  I am not sure if I'm getting the "eject before disconnecting message" and I'm not sure what to do next!

    Hello sheri85,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iPod: Changing the display language
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1824
    If you have an iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod (iPod with video):
    Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it.
    Scroll up one menu item. This should be Settings.
    Press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
    Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
    Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
    Press the Center button to select Language.
    Select your preferred language from the list.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • I selected the wrong language and I cant understand the vocabulary to reset it

    When I started to setting my apple TV I pressed a wrong language which I can't undrstand the alphabet. So I cant reset the settings.

    Ρυθμίσεις> Γενικές> Γλώσσα
    I am guessing you put in Greek if it is the alphabet you can't read, from google translate but I think this is settings-general-language if you have something looking like this.
    If it looks different post what it looks like and you may get help.

  • Can one change the built-in dictionary for IoS Adobe Reader?

    I'd like to change it to another language. Are there built-in dictionaries in languages other than English? Or can you link it to another offline dictionary on your device so you can use the 'Define' feature directly?
    Thanks.

  • The licence agreement is in the wrong language. how can i change it to English?

    i am tring to set up an icloud account but the licence agreement is in a language I dont know. any ideas on way this may be and how to fix the problem?

    Press Alt to reveal the menu bar if hidden.
    Click the second item from the left in the menu bar (Edit)
    Click the last option in the drop-down list (Preferences).
    On the dialog that appears you want the left-hand tab (General).
    Set the language in the final drop-down box on this tab.
    English (United States) is the tenth item on the drop-down.
    Click the OK button (second in from bottom right) then shut-down iTunes.
    The language should be correct when you restart.
    Swap left for right in the above decriptions if you've managed to get iTunes to open in Arabic or Hebrew.

  • I set the wrong language how do I change it to English?

    I just got my iPod nano. I accidently set the language in something I cannot read. How can I change it to English?

    Learn that language.
    Just kidding... hit the menu button a few times to make sure you're at the top-level menu. Then scroll down to the sixth option (five clicks down... it's "Settings" in English). Select that, then scroll to the fifteenth option (fourteen clicks down, also the third from the last option... "Language" in English). Select this, then select the first option in this menu. That should be English.
