Paying With Apple Pay the terminal switches language

When paying with Apple Pay the terminals "talk back" in Swedish. My language is Finnish. The receipts print out in Swedish? How do I manage the language setting on Apple Pay?

Hello markofrominkoo,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's verify your language and region is set up correctly on your device:


"Change the language and region on iPhone

You choose the language and region of your iPhone during setup. If you travel or move, you can change the language or region.


  1. Go to Settings  > General > Language & Region.
  2. Set the following:
    • The language for iPhone
    • Your preferred form of address. (Choose feminine, masculine, or neutral. Turn on Share with All Apps so all apps personalize how they address you. Available for some primary languages, for example, Spanish.)
    • The region
    • The calendar format
    • The temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit)
    • The measurement system (metric, U.S., or UK)
    • The first day of the week
    • Live Text (text you can select in images to copy or take action on)

3.To add another language and keyboard to your iPhone, tap Add Language, then select a language."


Additional details can be found here: Change the language and region on iPhone


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Does this happen every time you make a purchase with Apple Pay? Does this happen with online purchases as well? Also, when did you first notice this?


Cheers!
