Disconnect your iPod from your computer, then press the Menu button until the menu title says "iPod," regardless of the language displayed. This means you are at the main menu.

Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it.
Scroll up one menu item. This should be Settings.
Press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.
Select your preferred language from the list.

My new ipod nano is in foreign language and i cant get it back to english

First you need to restore it, plug your iPod into your computer and open up iTunes. Select your iPod in the list to the left, then click the "Restore" button located under the big picture of your iPod model, restoring will take a few minutes. Once it's done, your iPod will probably have forgotten the foreign language setting, so it will ask you to choose a language. Choose the language that you wish to use your iPod in. If this doesn't work, then you should visit this page for which buttons to press to get your iPod back to the language you want.
Hope this helps!

Why is my brother printer now giving instructions in french. it's only happened since hooling up a new laptop.

Sounds like someone changed the language settings on the printer. Unless you know French...just reinstall it.

I am in France right now & want to buy TI-86 texas instrument calculator. But it is in French I would like to know wheather it can be changed to English language

Hello,
It seems to me that the TI calcultors are in English by default, and other languages can be installed as Localization applications. The problem is that the TI86? is not being made anymore.

When I use the French localization in my TI84Plus, I am always asked to choose 1: English, or 2:French. When I choose English I am no longer asked to choose language.

Examine the calculator first. If it is new the localisations may be installed.

Hope it helps.

Ipod in chinese dont know how to switch back to english.

If you accidentally set iPod nano to use a language you don’t understand
You can reset the language.
1 Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.
2 Choose the sixth menu item (Settings).
3 Choose the last menu item (Reset Settings).
4 Choose the first item (Reset) and select a language.
Other iPod nano settings, such as song repeat, are also reset.
Note: If you added or removed items from the iPod nano main menu (see “Adding or
Removing Items on the Main Menu” on page 11) the Settings menu item may be in a
different place. If you can’t find the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore
iPod nano to its original state and choose a language. See “Updating and Restoring
iPod Software” on page 69.

Good Luck and Please Rate FixYa!

Select your language.
If you have an iPod nano or Fifth Generation iPod (iPod with video):

Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it.
Scroll up one menu item. This should be Settings.
Press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.
Select your preferred language from the list.

If you have an older iPod with color display (including iPod photo)

Scroll to the fourth menu item in the screen and press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the last menu option but don't select it; in English, this is the "Reset All Settings" option.
Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.
Select your preferred language from the list.

If your iPod has a monochrome display (black and white):

Scroll to the third menu item in the screen and press the Center (Select) button. This takes you to the Settings menu.

Scroll up to the third menu item from the bottom one. This should be Language.
Press the Center button to select Language.

If the instructions above don't enable you to change the language on your iPod, try using the "Reset All Settings" option at the bottom of the Settings menu. If the Reset All Settings option does not work, you can restore your iPod back to factory condition and reselect the display language.

On my logitech keyboard Y-BH52 my back slash, comma, forward slash and bracket keys are typing in what looks to be french characters such as A's with accents on them...if you could provide any assistance...

hmmm it seems by mistake you have changed your key-board layout to french language.

Hold down Alt and press Shift. (Alt+Shift). Check the result by pressing thoes keys. If its back to original means you have installed both English/French both and can toggle pressing Alt+Shift.
Otherwise goto Start -> Control Panel -> Regional And Language Option.
Click on Language Tab, then Details button.
Now in settings tab you can see the languages installed on your system. You can remove un-wanted or/and select a default languages which you want.

Please post your feed-back
Thanks
