Wrong language for InDesign

My trial copy of InDesign opens in Danish. How can I make it open in English?

Did you download a trial of only InDesign? Or of the Creative Cloud?
If you were only downloading InDesign, were you downloading from this web page (see below)? Notice there is a language menu at the bottom of the web page. You must have had it set on Danish? Uninstall using the Uninstaller in the Applications > Adobe InDesign CC folder. Then set your language to English and download again.

Every time I try to download Java for Lion (no matter what the source) all I get is a document image labelled "unconfirmed download" and a warning that this type of file may harm my computer. What am I doin wrong?

Even from Apple? > Java for OS X Lion Update 1
Restart your Mac before trying to download the file.
Do you have anti virus software installed or a program like LIttle Snitch?
If you are using Safari to download files, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
If that doesn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
If you still can't download the Java file, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac. Try downloading that file again.
If it still won't download without that dialog, go to ~/Library/Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
Try again.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Opening templates, wrong language - need english

I am opening templates in iAuthor and am getting the wrong language.
I need english.
Anyone have a tip of what I need to do in order to fix this?
My lion OS is set with English as default.
thanks in advance,
Linda

Good to know nothing broken, but seems it could be a nice way to have template and then some tips on how to use the feature.
Some seem very easy to use and others not so. Like 3D and views.
Just played with Views more and ignored the text, so think I got it.
Seems to have lots of features, but many are from other products so seems like once you find out iAuthor can do the feature it is easy to implement.
I'm currently just playing around with all the features and creating test pages.
Very cool concept.
Thanks for your reply and helping.
Thanks,
Linda

Insane spelling correction in Pages for Lion: "is" - "si"

Well, the new pages for Lion insists on correcting the word "is" to "si" every time I type it.
This insane behavior ceases only when I uncheck Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling as You Type.
When I go to Edit>Spelling..., enter the word "is" into the entry field and press "Guess", Pages returns a guess of "si".
When I go to Pages>Preferences> Autocorrect, there is no entry in the list of autocorrect entries for "is" or for "si".
When I go to Apple>System Preferences>Language & Text>Text, there is no entry in the list of autocorrect entries for either "is" or "si".
Under Apple>System Preferences>Language & Text>Language, my choice is US English. Spanish is not among the choices.
So I guess Pages for Lion somehow thinks that I am a Spanish speaker and is trying to help me out. Sheesh.
Apple, this system (OS X LIon) and software (iWork) release is not up to your high usual standards!!!!!

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.

Wrong language selection

Hi, I have a hp laserjet MFP M476nw and I choosed wrong language, when I started to install the printer, and of all languages it was chineese and thats not so easy to understand . Can somebody help me, please? Maybe someway to restart...

Hi historyan,
Without having the printer in front of me, I can try to help based off of what I see in the user guide.
1. Touch the Setup button (the button with the wrench).
2. Use the Right arrow to scroll to System Setup (it should be pressed 4 times, though I'm not certain. Google Translate says that System Setup looks like 系统设置 Xìtǒng shèzhì in simplified Chinese, I don't know how accurate that is but it's worth a shot).
3. The first menu item should be Language, touch that.
4. Scroll until you recognize something that looks like this: 英語 Yīng yǔ (Google Translate says it should be English).
If that doesn't work, but you're able to get to the lanuauges menu, just try different languauges until you can find the right one.
Let me know how this goes!
Thanks,
Mike

Some of my apps are with wrong language.

Some of my apps are with wrong language. Spotify is on holland and sleep cycle are on Chinese? Is there a way to change this ?
My region is set right (Norwegian)

Henrik,
You should try setting your general system language to English, followed by setting it to Dutch again. Fixed it for me. Apps that don't have a translation to Dutch (at least that's what i'm guessing) now appear in English (which I think is fine). So before this 'fix' the phone must have somehow thought Chinese was my second language...

Arabic language for PlayBook os 2

I'm from egypt and i use Arabic language and i heard that there are Arabic language for PlayBook but i can't git or fiend it
Please help me to install Arabic language for my PlayBook
Thank you

Dear Sir or Madam
I recently bought one of your products, the Blackberry Playbook. It is a great tablet and powerful. I speak English but my mother tongue is Arabic. Because I had a Blackberry phone and the Arabic language is fully supported in all blackberry phones so I thought that there will be no problem with the Playbook regarding Arabic language support.
However, unfortunately, my guess was wrong. The tablet does not support Arabic language. When using the bridge feature the Arabic letters are displayed unconnected and in the wrong direction (from the left to right instead from right to left).
This makes the Playbook useless for me in many situations, for example when presenting documents for conference.
I am writing to you to know if there is a fix for this or if you are updating the language support for the playbook in short coming time.
Please do not use the word soon, as this word lost its meaning when Google abused its use. The life of an electronic gadget is very short these days, so the full support should be available for the user to benefit from the gadget.
In addition, Blackberry phones are very popular in the Middle East and many people, which I know, said to me they will never buy the Playbook if there is no Arabic language support, (I discovered this after I bought the playbook).
If you are aiming high and looking to compete with the leading producer in the tablet market, then just look at how it is easy to change the interface language in the Apple iPad.

Impossible to uninstall v16. Automatically re-installs with wrong language (afrikaans) despite manual uninstall of rem Moreover keeps freezing windows explorer.

I Downloaded and installed v17 beta on my desktop (W7/64). OK
I noticed later that the version had changed without doing anything (moved back to v16.0.2, and displayed in Afrikaans).
Note that a second drawer is installed under Program files X86 (Mozilla maintenance service)
I uninstalled both drawers (Firefox & mozilla maintenance service) several times through windows control panel.
Every times remain some leftovers (e.g desktop icon, and the drawers listed above , but they are generally empty)
I tried cleaning registry afterwards (Tuneup utilities, Ccleaner) and even reboot the machine)
And it's always the same story: Firefox icon re-appears on my desktop, and can be normally opened . The software is always displayed in afrikaan language .
Moreover, I noticed (when I try to open the drawer (program files X86) that windows explorer freezes.
I had same problems on 2 windows 7 partitions, same computer. But never under windows 8
I really could do with a bit of help. It looks as though this piece of software is corrupt, and I really don't understand how it can manage to reappear a couple of minutes after being uninstalled .
Otherwise it's not a genuine Firefox version ?
Best regards
Philippe cante
I made screenshots of unistall/cleaning/opening process if that's of any interest to you But I can't attach a file!

The maintenance service runs as a background Window service if necessary and is responsible for downloading and applying an update for all installed Firefox versions without the need to respond to an UAC confirmation that comes with a dimmed window. You only need to give permission once when you install Firefox and the maintenance service isn't installed yet.
If the Firefox user interface (menu bar) is in the wrong language or if you want to change the current language then you can get Firefox in the language of your choice here:

Wrong language when choosing a preferred language which is not the main UI language in some iOS8 apps (including App Store)

I've chosen Galician as my preferred language in iOS8. Since the iPhone is not translated to Galician, only the apps which are translated into Galician show up in that language, but the UI shows in Spanish (the second preferred language). Or should it be like that, because some apps (Twitter, Telegram, even the App Store) which have an Spanish translation show up in English. The App Store is even buggier because its fine on my iPad and it used to be OK on my iPhone with these settings, but suddenly it switched to English only in the iPhone. No matter how many times I force quit or reboot the iPhone, wrong language is displayed in some apps.

I think correct behavior is for apps to use the 2nd language on the list, if they do not have the first but do have the 2nd. I don't know why some app would do otherwise.

Wrong language in Dashboard

Whenever Dashboard is opened on my computer, it comes up in the wrong language. Even when I am browsing through widgets to download off of Apple.com, they still show up in another language. I can't figure out how to change the setting. It's fine in all my other apps, so I can't figure out what's going on.

Wrong language of wording inside Letterpress Cards

Has anyone else had an issue with the wrong language being presented on the wording inside Letterpress Cards? I have my computer set to English, with the store as Canada. The outside of the cards are fine, and the the instructions on the inside are fine, but the actual wording is in something foreign.

This is not an issue.
What you're seeing is gibberish in Latin, put there as a Placeholder text. It's to allow you to see how the card will layout. It's a common device among printers and graphic artists. You'll see exactly the same if you try make a newsletter in Pages, for instance.
You simply click and type over it to put your own message there.
