The version of itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run the english version.
I keep getting the above message. I've tried chaning the language to no avail. Help pleeeeaaase.
I had the exact same problem you described in both messages. Tried to do a repair from Programs in the Control Panel. That just gave me another error: "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." So I just downloaded the most current version of iTunes and reinstalled. All my songs and playlists are still intact. The reinstallation doesn't overwrite your music. If you are concerned do a backup of those files first.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

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

Today logging into my Itunes account an error message comes up, "This versionof Itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please run English version. Don't know why Im getting this and cannot get into account at all
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 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.

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.

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.
