Text messages are being sent in English but other people are saying they are in Cheinse. I have checked the settings to make sure my keyboard was on English and rebooted it.

I have had a couple of my friends ask me why I am sending them a text in Chiense. When I sent the text it was in English and stayed English on my screen but when they got it was in Chinese. I have checked my keyboard to make sure it was in English and did a reboot on it. But I am thinking it has something to do with the recent update because my phone has been doing odd things since then. Plus I know of others this is happening to as well.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

Hi. I answered a question the had the same problem as yours a few days ago. my answer was:


(not sure on why that is happening, though since I'm in hk, is wouldn't really be so bad.

but try this.

1) checking your setting for language or keyboard

2) check which of the contacts this happens too. maybe there is a setting problem on those contact alone... or is it randomly doing to all different contacts every time

3) reinstall iOS - backup and restore to factory setting then return data.

Also try checking you iCloud settings if your contacts are stored there.

hope it helps)

I see you tried rebooting.. does that mean restarting the iPhone or something further? you could try what i recommended to the other user, might help as she hasn't replied with any further problems. Also, I just notice too that we can now add other applications during our iMessage or sms. example, Ive added a translation app to help translate message, as i do receive chinese messages due to me being in a Chinese city. check if you have installed this apps and if they are translating for you by accident with your knowlegde.

But your safest bet, is to reinstall the iOS of your device and see if it persist.

hope it helps you
