    Blocks are displayed in the wrong language when language/location don't match


    Most of the time language and location on my Xbox don't match. Usually I set it to English US for language and Germany for location. With this setting the blocks on the bottom of the Home tab are using German instead of English. This happened when the Fall
    2017 update was in testing (I reported it to no avail), when the Fall 2017 update was rolled out to the masses, and now in the public Spring 2018 update as well.

    Why is this? I think everything except the Xbox Store should only consider the selected language to display UI resources. Who in the world thinks that looking at the location instead would be a good idea?

    :)

    Language and location impossible to separate

    Hello.

    I live in Denmark and own an Xbox One console. I would very much like to have English as my displayed language on the console, but if I choose this I have to choose my location from English speaking countries exclusively. As such, if I choose English as
    my language and choose an arbitrary location some of my country-specifik apps (e.g. Viaplay, a streaming app) won't play because they don't own the rights to stream to countries outside of Scandinavia.

    Is there no way to bypass this issue?

    I had a prolonged session (+1 hour) with support yesterday trying to fiddle with different settings in profile and console settings as well as the support agent trying to change my displayed language manually in the Microsoft system and maintaining my logged
    location as Denmark - but alas, this didn't take and my displayed language is still Danish.

    Any and all suggestions are very welcome - as I tire of the google translate-like Danish text in games and descriptions.

    language problem

    Hey there juke138skywalk.

    Does the region of your account match your physical location? Language availability can vary on your region and location which may explain why it's in a different language.

    Region Settings Changed Without My Knowledge

    Hello!

    Are you certain the region was change and not just the language? Check and see if you can change just the language by going to your "Settings" then under "System" and "Language & location" if it is a region that your console was switched to you would have
    to wait until it allows you to switch it again.

    Hope this helps

    Can’t redeem code

    Hi guys,

    just setup the xbox one x Gears5 and I redeem most of the cores that come with the console but not one.

    Gears of Wars 3 is code is saying that’s a language issue.

    Since all the others worked perfectly I believe there is something wrong with this one.

    Any tips?
    Should.be noted that account region and actual region and language region MUST match

    So if you are having england and french actual location and english language it wont work

    Your account regions primary language must match your console language
