Classroom iPads changing language settings on their own

Hi, that's what I consider.

Since it only seems to happen when that you are using the iPad => perhaps there is something unique about the way that you interact with the device that triggers the language change.

Since it didn't change language in other locations and wiping it didn't fix the issue => it seems likely that something specific to that classroom is causing the problem.

So have you tried changing the Wi-Fi network that the iPads are connected to in that classroom?

Maybe there is some sort of interference or glitch with that particular access point. It might also be worth checking if there are any apps or software installed on those iPads that could be causing the issue.

Also, have you consulted with anyone else in the school district to try to solve this issue? Mb someone had a similar problem...

In preferred language there are usually one or several other languages along with english.

You should definitely use the Edit button to remove everything other than English from that list. The only purpose of having other languages on that list is to allow menus and dialogues to appear in them.

Are you able to make sure that the Preferred Languages list in settings / general / language & region only has your desired language on it?

It happened to one student when he tapped on an assignment in Google classroom and another student just had it happen when they opened safari.

Could you post a screenshot of an example of this? Does the ipad it happened to have anything extra on settings > general > language & region > preferred language?

If you’re getting messages on google classroom from “the teacher” you need to reset every ipad in the room because you’re either being hacked or one of the students is messing around with things. If there aren’t any suspicious attempts the possible hacker could have hidden the log in because that is super weird. Because if those messages are showing up that is creepy and if the iPad is playing weird videos you might ask all of the students and teachers involved in this if they connected any chargers that weren’t theirs or adapters to their devices because that could mean that one person got hacked and spread it through to the people nearby. My recommendation would be to factory reset every iPad experiencing this problem and report the problem directly to Apple support. (It’s faster to call on phone from my experience)

Hey there! I hope you have tried changing the Wi-Fi network yet since it's definitely worth a shot to see if that's causing the problem. I also checked the installed apps and software on the iPad, but I didn't find anything that could be causing the issue. I may have missed something, so I'll take another look. As for studying online, I find it to be a great alternative like https://papersowl.com/write-my-thesis which enables me to get help from experts who can offer valuable knowledge and write my thesis. It is instead of traditional classroom learning, especially with all the technological advancements we have nowadays. However, it can be a bit challenging at times, especially when it comes to staying focused and motivated and finding by ourselves some sources, but I've already given you one)) Have you tried studying online before? What are your tips for staying focused and motivated? Share them with me since that is the way students can support each other.

We do when it happens so there is only english listed and then the ipad turns back to english. But it can happen again and the language changes again and there are other languages listed again.

I know this is quite late but maybe have every student and teacher in the school go to preferred language and make sure that it only has English that might fix the problem.

Are you talking about the user interface (all the menus and dialogues) changing to Chinese? Or just the keyboard input?

Could you post a screenshot of an example?
