Finnish VISA card in a Xbox One that is set to english

tehJarrett · Dec 20, 2014

Hello! I have a Xbox one, I live in Finland but speaks only english.

How can I use my finnish VISA card when I have my console set to English? Now, I have to change the freaking settings to finnish/finland, reboot, buy my stuff, then set it back to english/uk and then reboot again.

I mean come on, what the?

Account language problem

Well, on my main account I set my country to Finnish (although I do not obviously live there), and now most of it is in Finnish and I can't understand most of the language and can't use lots of apps.A

Any way to fix this? I want to use apps and navigate the console in english

Why can't we choose language and location independently?

^Uhm, pretty sure there are several ways to make sure you're getting the right content regardless of the language you use on the system. I have Steam in English and still have Finnish Steam store, not UK, US or some other English speaking country's store.
Why? Because a) profile has been set to Finland and b) IP is Finnish. Language shouldn't be the thing that somehow makes sure you're getting the right content when there are other ways which do not mess up your experience even the slightest.

Sorry to hear you're upset. However, in order for credit cards to work your gamertag's region (country) must be the same as your physical region. Having your gamertag set to a different region than you live in could cause issues with downloading and using
games that are on the marketplace.

Yes, I get that.

But why can't I choose Finland and set the language to English? Why am I forced to have the console in finnish?

So, what I understand is that I can put my finnish visa card as payment method in my turkish xbox store, but JUST in case I wanted to redeem a gift card and NOT to purchase games, right?

I live in Finland but used to live in UK. Hence prefer English as my language setting but have difficulties with my XBOX one as it does not accept that many persons in Finland actually rather use English with XBOX than Finnish.

What setting should I change ?

You can only use your Turkish Lira currency in the Turkish Store. And no, sadly, you can't use your Finnish Visa card as a payment method for a Turkish Store, you have to use a Turkish payment method like your Turkish Lira currency.
