I recently purchased a new Ipod nano. When I turned it on for the first time it is in some foreign language. How do I get my Ipod menus etc to be in english. It did accept the music I synced...in English...

Here's an excerpt from the ipod 5th gen. manual:

(Note that you won't see the names they give here in brackets, because they'll be in the wrong language. They give you the place where each of the functions are, to get you to the change the language function.)

" If you accidentally set iPod nano to use a language you don’t understand

You can reset the language:

Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.

Use the Click Wheel to find the menu item that causes the iPod nano device name to

appear in the preview panel, and then choose it. That’s the Settings menu.

Choose the last menu item (Reset Settings).

Choose the first item (Reset) and select a language. "

I found that the Reset Settings option is always english, so you'll find it quite easily, it's the last in the settings list.

For a shorcut, don't select the Reset Settings option, but go up two options, and select that one: it's the language option, and you'll see english at the top of the list.
