Marketplace displaying in wrong languages

Marketplace Wrong Language

One of our readers, Kibosh, has posted on our forum that he seems to be experiencing some issues with linguistic communication in the Marketplace. Being fluent in Dutch (with good English), he has trouble browsing and - in rare cases - using apps on his device due to the Market place being displayed in French.

I'm a Dutch speaking Belgium guy owning a nice HTC Mozart and I'1000 happy with it. Only there is one major thing wrong with information technology and that is that the marketplace displays French. In that location are some more smaller things, but this language issue is for me very annoying.

Because not many people know Belgium (I approximate), there are three official languages. Dutch (Me), French and a pocket-size function German. For some reason, Microsoft decided to offering the marketplace only in French for Kingdom of belgium. I tin clinch you that they fabricated a large mistake. We, the Flemish, speak amend English then French. Besides in that location are 6,200,000 Flemish and iii,500,000 French. You can do the math. Consider too the fact that Belgium is going through a political crisis about French vs Flemish and you lot tin see the size of the fault.

Equally i could imagine, this is frustrating for Kibosh and he posted a reply to a Microsoft Answers thread covering language problems on Windows Mobile. Doing some searching, we managed to come beyond a similar scenario where someone from Switzerland had to browse the Marketplace in German. A few replies later and a solution was posted for a new Live ID and Zune account to be created (with correct settings to force English or a desired language), coupled with resetting the device to attach the new accounts.

Seems a fleck much work to change the language, hopefully Microsoft volition work on a feature that allows one to alter their language beyond their Alive ID, Zune account and device with ane selection. Have you had any problem with the wrong language existence displayed in the Marketplace?
