Changing App Store Language to Italian in Switzerland

Hello,

I'm currently facing an issue with the language settings in the App Store on my iPad. The App Store is displaying in German, but I would like to change it to Italian. I reside in Switzerland, where both German and Italian are official languages. I have already set my country/region settings correctly to Switzerland.

However, I do not wish to change my App Store country to Italy, as I need to keep my billing address and other services tied to Switzerland. Is there a way to change just the language of the App Store to Italian while keeping the country setting as Switzerland?

I appreciate any advice or solutions you can offer to resolve this issue.

Thank you!

MacBook, macOS 11.4

When you have set your Language and Region settings - and presumably selected your Region as Switzerland - you will also have chosen one or more Preferred Languages.


Of languages that you have selected, ensure the Italian is the first language within the list of languages that you have enabled - as Apps will use the first listed language. If multiple languages have been enabled (e.g., German, French and Italian are official languages in Switzerland), drag Italian to the top of the list using the "hamburger" icons seen at the left of the selected language list.

  • [Preferred Languages] - ensure Italian is the first item in the list
  • Region - select Switzerland
