Some of my iCloud settings are in Japanese?

If you go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendar > Default Calendar > you're supposed to see: Calendar and Birthdays, right? But in my phone, it has Calendar with a blue dot, a Japanese text which I think also means Calendar because it also has a blue dot, another Japanese text with a green dot (I don't know what it means), and then Birthdays with a red dot.

Same goes with my Notes. If I go to Notes and tap on Accounts, I'd see From my Mac, iCloud and another one with a Japanese text. How do I disable the Japanese words?

fixed with the solution provided in: Chinese Symbols Showing:

"Try going to iCloud.com, open you calendar, click on the gear icon on the lower left and choose Preferences, then on the General tab make sure Show Lunar Calendar isn't check in the Appearance section."

That is strange. If you are using iCloud, I would make sure that your iCloud account is set to English. To do this go to https://www.icloud.com/, login with your Apple ID, and then once you are into iCloud, click your name (top right), then in the Language section make sure it is set to English.

If it was set to Japanese, you may need to remove iCloud from the iPhone then reconnect it (to push the new settings and change name), or it might resync.

Hope this helps,

David

Everything is in English (from Keyboard to iCloud settings), I just don't know why I'd show up that way. 😕 But good thing you recommended going to iCloud.com. I just tried to edit the Japanese categories manually, hopefully it won't sync back to the Japanese text again. Thanks, David! 🙂

I have this problem too. It's so annoying. Some of my apps are in Japanese (Line for example). I think it has to do with that i once used a macbook which i logged into, installed some apps from my account, changed language to Japanese, logged off, and then gave to my friend in Japan who uses her account...
