    Region and Language Issues


    Hi,

    I actually think this is more a post for the "Feedback" forum but for some reason the page there won't let me post anything (not even answers) so I'll put this here:

    Please please please change the Regional/Language settings! I am in Germany but I want to play all my games and have my Xbox menue be in English. This was possible on the 360, why not the One?! Now I can't even use the store because it will only accept an
    address in the US.

    Seriously, why even do this?

    :)

    Language and region Questions and issues

    yeah I guess

    It's still a little strange there is just no way to have your menu language fully in English, what if I only spoke that language?

    I'm aware this is just a small inconvenience, but I have been bothered by it a lot since I work/speak a lot of English and prefer it over my native language. They might wanna look into this.

    Language and region Questions and issues

    Hello

    So after contacting xbox support without any result I thought I'd try here!

    I want my xbox to be completely in English, but I'm located in Belgium. There are a few given options to do this.

    I changed my System language on my xbox to English. You can then go into billing options and see for a language there.

    My country has 2 main languages, dutch and French.. no English option AND you can't change your region/location.

    Doing this changes some of the sub menu's like preferences and such to English, but most main menus remain Dutch.

    I'm aware thats not a real issue but what is is that apps like youtube apparently load content going from your region.

    Which in my case is half French so it gives me pages of French vids I know nothing about (since I speak dutch and English)

    Long story short, I want my region behaving like USA or an option to have it so? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Same wish here. The current way of handling the language Settings is just ridiculous. Whoever thought this was a good idea Needs to be whipped with a cat-5'o'nine tails.

    Hi Selenyx I belive that the old xbox feedback forum is read only.. it has been replaced by www.xbox.uservoice.com where we can make or vote for suggestions...

    When it comes to the language issue I'd like to suggest this one which had gotten a fair bit of support..

    xbox.uservoice.com/.../6028840-don-t-region-lock-the-languages

    There are a lot of us who are not happy with the language situation on the xbox one at the moment...

    Not able to add Gears of War 3 on my Xbox One X !!!!

    Well if you read the error you wouldve figured your issue

    Language English

    location czech console region czech.

    See where the issue is

    It says - Change your language region in settings.

    That would be correct

    Your issue is your language

    For ALL xbox 360 games your account region actual region and language region MUSt be the same

    It.must.be czech

    $5 Gift Card redeemed and didn't receive money

    it's from a deposit from rewards it still applies

    However if you change your account region to let's say UK language for English when your account region is really France that would be the issue

    To use balances from other regions a your console and language region. Must reflect your actual regikn and language

    Trying to download De Blob 2 on Xbox 360, Download hits 79% and restarts.

    Ive been trying to install this game since yesterday and keep having this issue, what gives?
    Does your account region

    Console.region actual region and language region match if not that woukd be why

    This is why downloads fail with 360 games usually

    Language includes using languages not of your region so if you are in germany or france and trying to get english it wont work

    It goes by the primary language of the region

    Language independence is only an xbox one feature but doesnt affect360 games
