Well, it is easy to change language to english on the device (Ipad), but not in the App Store. Swedish is (un-understandybly) no longer supported in the Finland-Apple Store (Please make Swedish work again, pretty please)

App Store Finland astonishingly suddenly quit supporting the Swedish language. Swedish is the second official language in Finland, please make it work again.
Now I can´t even get App Store to display it´s English interface.

I followed all advice on changing region to Singapore, language to English, and then back to my original settings - did not work - App Store still in Finnish only.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 5.1.1

I wouldn't know if there is a time delay before it changes, I do know that there is a short delay when you change the language on the device becuse I have tried that a number of times.


Have you tried signing out of your ID in the App Store, then restart the iPad, go back to the App Store and then sign in again?

The last thing that I can thing of is to reboot the iPad which resets the system. Try that and see if you can go through the steps again and get it to work.


Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

The language of the iTunes/App Stores, to the best of my knowledge, can't be changed on the user end, though that may have been true in the past. The stores are in whatever the official languages of that country are. This was also not always true in the past. It does appear to be the way Apple is going. Apparently, until recently, the Malaysian Store was in English. It is now in Malay.
