Change AppStore language using per-app language settings

Hello,

I’m Spanish living in Germany. My phone is in Spanish but with German region due to the local applications and payment methods. The AppStore shows obviously in German language.

if I set the phone language to English, the AppStore switches to English. All great!! But I prefer to have my phone in my mother tongue.

iOS offers the opportunity to change the language per-app basis. When I switch them to English using this method, it works with all apps except AppStore.

HOW??? WHY???

Hello Fran,

I had a similar problem: I live in Tenerife, but I'm Belgian. I have been looking for an answer for about 6 years now. I finally did something to get the App Store in my own language.

Everybody agrees that you should change the "Country or Region settings" of your AppleId in the AppStore.app.

The problem is that you also must have a payment methode of the country or region that you choose. And that is the big problem for everybody.

I tried to change it today and when they asked me for another method of payment, I hit 'Cancel' because I don't have another payment method. This reset everything EXCEPT the language.

I hope this will stay this way and I won't have any problems paying for apps... but I think it's a good start.

Do let us know what happens when you test that.
