        I have had my iPad2 for two years … Bought in Canada. I am living in Mexico right now and just did an update to the iPad and now my updates to apps comes up in Spanish and I can’t update anything as I get the message that it has to be done in Canada. Do you know how I can fix this?

      iPad language support is less than iPhone, at the moment iPad language support for English, French, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian.
      I am not sure there is an app available to change iPad language other than available language options.

    Hi,
    I speak and type in 3 languages, I want to quickly switch between the languages and that NOT the interface changes, but the Correction dictionary changes. Now explain to me how you do that… Because what you propose here only changes the interface….

    remember about change language during install iTunes and turn on Ipad first time: when you go to website with itunes open it in your country/language and instal iTunes in language that you want. Because a lot of things from iTunes appear after for example, I have Ipad in english, iTunes in italiano and Calendar in Ipad is in italiano.

    all my applications on IPAD are in english except Skype. I cannot get out of the Italian Skype. I have tried all settings and they are all correct. English is the chosen language, Skype comes up in Italian. I have found no help from the Skype personnel. They gave me your site. Please help.

      Change your iPad language to English and then remove the installed Skype App from iPad (See how to remove app). Install Skype again from App Store.

      Tap the menu with the Gear icon

      On the next screen, scroll down and find the 2nd last group of options and tap the third option in this group

      Tap the first option on the next screen.

      Now the tap the Language that you want to choose and then tap the bule icon on the top-rignt corner of the windows.
