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.
Switched to Russian. How do I get back to English?
Home screen, tap Gear icon
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.
Wait for the iPad to apply changes and it will get back to the Home Screen.
