How to change my Weather app to English on iPhone?

How do I change my weather app’s my location language? My language and region settings are in English only. It has been displaying Chinese words (吉隆坡)instead of English (Kuala Lumpur) in “my location”’s weather.

I found a solution that works for me: (Got this from a Malaysia local forum lowyat)


1. Go to Settings --> General --> Language & Region

2. Mine was on "English" but it is actually English (U.K)

3. Change to English (Singapore) & if you have Chinese, remove it also.

4. Reboot

5. Check Maps and Weather. Mine got fixed already at this point.

6. Change back to English (U.K) & if you want Chinese, you can add it.

7. Reboot

8. Check Maps and Weather.

Hi guys, anyone has any luck on this? restarting, deleting and reinstalling the weather app is not working. I've ensured that my language on phone and weather app are in English too. "My location" location name for Kuala Lumpur is still showing Chinese characters.

Looks like Apple is not resolving this issue after it is known for at least 1 year.
