Q: How to change language of the Store?

Hi,

 

I moved to Germany since few months and I have now a Credit Card issued by a German Bank. So I updated my information and the iTunes store switched to German. It's fine, I live in Germany and this make sense.

What doesn't make sense is that everything is now in German only. I'm not saying that every store should be available in any language, I understand that due to the specific agreement that can be different from country to country (even in the EU) it's not possible to have "one" store.

But at least I would like to be able to browse the iTunesStore in English! This would help a lot.

If anyone has any suggestion how to do this, is really really really welcome.

 

Thanks

 

PS: please do not suggest to change the country in the AppleID. This is NOT changing language.

Xjoshua,

 

The iTunes Store in Germany can only be used in German.

 

For a list of the available languages in each country's ITunes Store, see this document:

    Thanks for the link, I was not able to find it.

    Am I the only one that think that this is a bit weird? Why Switzerland or Belgium should have English option and not other countries? In the EU it's very easy that people move from other countries to study or to work. Would be a great to have at least the option to choose English as an alternative everywhere.

    Currently I'm simply not using anymore the iTunesStore, and this is bad.

    Xjoshua,

    The link seems to be working correctly.  Here is an excerpt of the table:

    I am sure many people would agree.  You can provide feedback directly to Apple via the iTunes Feedback page:
