Change apple store language but not country

Hello, I live in a country but do not speak the official language as it is not very common here to speak it. How can I change the language on the Apple Store (NOT App Store) to English?

Hi Rachaels14, thank you for your reply and apologies if I wasn’t clear but yes, I’m referring to the Apple Store app.


the trouble here is that the country/region in which I reside reflects a language which is now spoken by a smaller amount of people than english (14.9 million Dutch speakers, compared to 16.8 million English speakers), but English is not an option in the store from what I can tell.


While living in other countries where English is much more sparsely spoken I was able to change this in the settings (Germany, for example).


Is there any way to change this?

Hello zenmastaflash,


If you're referring to the Apple Store app, the language reflected within the app relies on the Country/Region selected in the app settings.
