Why has the language for the texts on my iphone changed to French?

iphone has gone mad. The language for the texts has switched to french. The keyboard is the french layout, despite under settings>general>international>language being set to english and keyboard under ...settings>general>international>keyboard>english (UK)>being QWERTY.....which it isn't. It means the auto correct is a nightmare. Any help gratefully received.

To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

  • How can I change the language for the Quiz Results page?

    How can I change the language for the Quiz Results (labels on buttons and text labels)? Is this possible only manually each time, or are general settings possible?

    For Quiz Slides you've already added to your project file you will need to change the labels manually.  If you change your Quiz Settings and Master Slides that control the defaults and then add new Quiz Slides, THEN those slides will carry your new settings.

  • How can I keep Firefox from changing the language for the spelling checker?

    I'm using Firefox 20.0 on Fedora 17 (Xfce) fully updated. At random intervals Firefox will either set the language to some random version of English (Zambia, much of the time) until I notice and set it back or it will simply uncheck US English without selecting anything else. It also turns the spelling checker off once in a while. It's hard to say just what, if anything, triggers this because I only close Firefox for updates, and only reboot for kernel updates. Most of the time, my computer runs 24/7 and Firefox stays open sometimes, for over a month without any other issues. I found two old, closed threads on this, but neither of them had anything applicable.

    There's an issue with this because Firefox looks at the page you're visiting and decides on the dictionary based on the language code. At least according to this [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682564 bug].
    I'm still looking to see if there's anything that can be done to stand on the programs neck until it cries uncle and uses EN-GB regardless. But I'm not holding my breath.

  • Can Firefox change the language for spell-check automatically when I change my input keyboard in Windows?

    I am an American, studying French and Spanish, on Windows 8.1. For typing in web forms (and in any other program), I installed Windows keyboards for French and Spanish. Windows lets me switch between keyboards easily, by either (a) an icon in the system tray, or (b) the key combo Windows Key + Space Bar.
    In Firefox I installed a spell checker for French and Spanish. Very nice.
    But when I switch between languages, to get the correct spell checker I have to right-click in a text field, then go to Languages and select my current language. A minor inconvenience.
    It would be nice for Firefox to detect which keyboard I am using and switch to the appropriate spell checker automatically. Is it possible please?
    I keep the user interface for both Windows and Firefox in English always.

  • How can I change the language of the App Store application for my ipod touch?

    How can I change the language of the App Store application for my ipod touch?

    These instructions are for changing the language for the Ipod Touch, but they don't change the language for the App store and the Reminders Application. 
    I think these two might be driven by the IP address of your location.  In my case, I am in Spain and have my Ipod Touch set to English, but for the App store and Reminders, it appears in Spanish.
    I would like to be able to change them to English if possible.  I don't see any options within those applications to make this change.
    Does anyone know how to make these changes?
    Many thanks.

    how to made the system language is Russian too?
    10.4 did not have Russian. Upgrade to 10.5, which does. Or contact http://www.apple.com/ru/ and see if they still have the Russian add-on they made for 10.4 several years ago.

  • How to change the language on the calendar

    I have just bought an iphone 3gs which is brand new but i bought it off amazon. i am in the uk but the phone has come from the US. The phone is 100% fine except that i cannot change the language for the calendar. i have gone into settings and changed the regional format to english however it is still stuck on german or something similar. it isnt a massive issue but it's really annoying and when i receive a text message the message date and time is also in another language.
    does anyone know why this is? i have tried re-setting the settings and it hasnt worked.
    thank you

    If you have tried changing the settings to the language you desire, you need to do a hard resget to the language you require

  • HT5457 iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

    iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

    quite surprised it suggests that iPhone 3gs s more powerful than the iPad1? iphone 3gs is supported. something is fishy. i don't want to fall out of love with apple products. looks like it's a business decision to cut support for iPad 1 - not technical shortcoming. if apple cut support for 3gs they will upset customers who just bought 3gs before iphone 5 was launched.... tsk tsk tsk.. i'm not from US. hope to see a class action suit by US peeps to resolve this...

  • Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto file?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  I can not upload pictures to software like Shutterfly for the same reason.

    Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them.  When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.

    How are you uploading?

  • Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration

    Hi All,
    Can we get a output in different languages for the same configuration done in NACE. or it is language specific.
    They have symbols which have values both in german and english. But when we run the transaction we are getting the output only in german language.We want the out put in english
    language.
    Thanks in Advance.

    A Smartform can be maintained in many languages other than the language that it is created. Translations for the texts have to be maintained for this purpose.
    To maintain the translations:
    Go to transaction SE63 in R/3.
    Go to menu Translation->R/3 Enterprise->Other Long Texts
    Select the object type in the pop up. Smartform(SSF) object type is found under Forms and Styles(FS).
    Enter the name of the Smart form and choose the source and target language. This would open a screen with the Smartform code in Source language on the top and an editor with the same code in the bottom.
    Find the text for which you need to maintain the translation and insert the translation in that place. As usual after required texts are maintained Save and Activate.
    To see the translated Smartform create an output type and assign the smartform and the driver program to this output type. In the transaction that sends output to this smartform, select the output type and select the language in which the smartform has to be displayed (translations have to be maintained in this lanuage).This will give the smartform in the required language.

  • Define the language for all notifications to language receiver

    Hi,
    In our workflow after the manager has done an action, a notification is send to the employee.
    The problem is that the text of the notification is always created in the language of the initiator. With us the language of the initiator can be different from the receiver.
    I would like to define that for all notifications always the language of the receiver is to be taken and not this from the initiator.
    Does anybode knwos how we can do this ?
