How to access iCloud Terms and Conditions in preferred language?

Why am I expected to agree to the new iCloud terms and conditions written in Spanish? My default language is English. I can’t read Spanish so I cannot agree to the terms and conditions so I can’t use iCloud. It’s incredible that Apple can make such a basic error. It obviously makes me mistrustful of the new terms and conditions. What is going on here? Why don’t they make these things really simple and highlight the things that have changed in the terms and conditions and do so in the default language? How do I go about getting the text in English?

I fixed my problem by deleting all languages except English in settings / general / languages & regions. Then if you back to the update the T&Cs then appear in English.


I’m assuming I can add back languages as and when I need them for translate or whatever.

Working with Unknown Language:


A. Delete All Languages, But English

You might be able to boot into Recovery Mode. From there, open Terminal and delete all of the languages in “settings / general / languages & regions”. Not so certain about it, but it may be the way to go about this.


B. Reformat this Anew

Elsewise, reformatting this and may be the best route to take. You’d trash it in Recovery Drive, and then format it with the according format, proceeding with th install.


C. Translate with Copy & Paste from a Photo:

Also, take come photos of what you are seeing, and copy & pate it into Google. You’d access all of these characters in photo by highlighting them with the photos app.
