I travel a lot and when I am not in a English speaking country it is all of a sudden in a foreign language. How do I stop this? Or where are the preferences? How to fix? Does anybody know if Apple has a paper on this?

The app is probably reading your IP and presenting the store for the nation from which you are connecting.
Are you signed into your account? Accounts are for specific stores, so if you sign into your account the app should adjust the store to the one to which your account is associated. You can also scroll to the bottom of a MAS page and click the circular flag icon to change the app store from country to country.

I suspect you are right.

I try that
Found it, there is a flag at the bottom of the store and if you click on it you can change the language.
Hi, I live in Mexico. But can't find the way to display the store in english, or the option to select the app In the language I want. When trying to buy from the US store (that displays in english). It denies the purchase until I change to Mexico (store) but displays eveything again in spanish!! Is there a language button? My Mac's language button is already in English.
The MAS displays in the official language of the country whose store it is. The Mexican Store has no English version. The only way to purchase from a country's store is the have a bank card with a billing address native to that country.
that is a pain! 100% sure?
Yes.
That's ridiculous!! no translations!!
How is that ridiculous. We here in Mexico do not need a translation, Spanish is out mother tongue.
It would be very expensive, time consuming work to provide everyone with the translation of the store they wished to view in their chosen language.
If you live here, learn our language.
Don't be such a square. All I'm trying to say is that this apple web design limits our options, instead of giving us options.
That maybe it would be bettet to have the country button to be used for changing language. And if there are specific products that can't be sold on specific countries, they could be identified by code and treated in a specific way.
I personally think this model or something like this, would be a more frendly user web site.
Are you an expert in webdesign? Especially in vending/storefront webdesign?
Each separate Apple online store is the product of interfacing with local financial systems, local tax and tariff, product vender licensing, language resources, etc. Can you point us to a store that operates in the manner that you want?
yeah you'r right, it's too dificult, it could never work out.
Hi can anyone tell me how to do this with an iPad? I'm living in Amsterdam but would like my language set to English.
Thanks!!
The Netherlands Store is not available in English.
It makes sense that the Norwegian store is in Norwegian, but it is in English.
How to set App store Languages?
