Q: I did this, but the calendar is still appearing in Spanish. Any help?

On my iPhone4 I updated to iOS 7 and accidentally set the language to Spanish. I am a Spanish speaker, so changing it back wasn't a problem. My problem now is that when I look at the calendar anywhere, it's in Spanish. I have tried changing the language many times, but still no luck.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

iPhone 4, iOS 7

    That's an interesting error. Since you changed the default language, the phone is probably kind of stuck.

     

    First, try force closing the app (double tap home button, swipe up on app)

     

    If that doesn't work, I would reset the phone then, to see if that helps.

    (Hold the hold button and home button together for 10 or so seconds until you see apple logo)

     

    If that doesn't work, maybe a backup and restore is in order.... but that's worst case scenario.

    All you have to do is change the region settings to change the calendar.

     

    Settings > General > International > Region Format.
