How to make Russian language in app. How to change the App Store language to Russian on iPhone and iPad

The famous Apple store called the App Store is a place where everyone will find something interesting for themselves. It houses several hundred thousand different games and planners. And the best thing about why people love Apple technology so much is that all these programs can be downloaded without viruses. Simple account settings - and you're in the magical App Store. But sometimes there is a need to change some account settings (for example, language, country or region). It's not that difficult to do.

One option: change your place of residence. Logical. But there is another equally important reason. Not every Apple user knows that the company offers different products for countries. That is, the programs that are available for, for example, Spaniards will not always be available to the Japanese. Simply put, the desire to change the country, region (and, as a result, language) is often necessary in order to download some application that is not available in your location.

It is important to know that changing the country in the App Store (iTunes) without changing the Apple ID is impossible, that is, changing the country occurs in the Apple ID.

A few more important points:

When changing the region settings, the billing address specified previously will also change;

you will have to choose a new payment method (they are not the same in different regions, for example, in Germany, users can only pay for purchases using German cards);

programs purchased earlier (when a different country was specified) will no longer appear in the “Purchases” section;

in iCloud, in the “Media Library” section, files downloaded in the previous region will disappear.

Change country

The process for changing settings will differ on different devices. Although this is not particularly convenient, it is very logical, given the different operating systems.

On iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices

The very first thing to do is open the Settings menu.

First, you need to click on the gear wheel to open the settings menu for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad

Then you need to carefully look at the “Settings” menu

After that, select the “iTunes Store and App Store” column.

Select the column “iTunes Store and App Store Settings”

Next, you need to select an Apple ID or log in with it if you have not previously used your identification login on the device.

View your Apple ID or sign in to your account

A window opens, in which you click “View Apple ID.”

Click the "Country/Region" button.

Select the country and region in the Apple id settings

Next, you need to click on “Change country or region.”

Select the options you want and click Next.

Read the terms of the privacy policy and accept them by clicking the “I Accept” column.

Set up a payment method by choosing the most convenient one for you.

Enter the address for providing invoices.

On a Mac or Windows computer

Open iTunes.

First, open iTunes

Next, click “Account”.

Then "View".

Next, the same course of action as on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Select the country/region, click “Change country or region”, agree to the privacy policy, select the payment method and billing address.

What to do if you can’t change your country/region in the App Store

If you can't reconfigure your country and region, you may have:

There is some kind of subscription to iTunes Match (or Apple Music, for example) that is valid right now. In such a situation, it needs to be turned off;

you have an unused subscription (you can check this in the “Account” menu). In this case, you need to wait for the expiration of its validity period and only then proceed to change the region;

you have a film or other item with a valid expiration date. There are two options: either watch the movie, or wait until the expiration date expires;

There is an unspent balance of funds in the store. Accordingly, buy yourself something with it, and then proceed to change the region;

The refund is in progress and is not yet completed. You have to wait for it to pass;

The selected region and the selected credit card for purchases do not match. In other words, you need to choose the right match between the “place of stay” and the payment method (it was already mentioned above that not all regions have the same payment method);

if in the family group settings you were made a participant and not an organizer. You need to either leave the family group or become its administrator.

We will also add that by changing the country/region, you will also change the language of the App Store (iTunes). For different versions of iOS, the change method will be the same. Of course, iOS 7 and iOS 10 have different menus, but the sequence of actions and the names of the items you will look for are similar.

“Has the language of iTunes/AppStore changed?”, “For some reason everything in iTunes/AppStore has become in English?”, “How to return Russian iTunes/AppStore?” – these and other similar questions are often asked by users in our VKontakte group. Below we will tell you how to return everything to its place.

There are many reasons for changing the language in the iTunes/AppStore, but most are the work of the users themselves. Most often this happens due to the desire to download an application or other content that is not in the Russian section of the store.

How to change the store language to Russian:

Changing the country/region occurs in the Apple ID account settings. There are two ways to get to the settings:

Open the standard Settings application -> iTunes and AppStore -> click on your Apple ID -> View Apple ID
Open iTunes or AppStore on the main page -> scroll to the very bottom -> click on your Apple ID -> View Apple ID

Next, enter your Apple ID password, if required. Go to the Country/Region tab and click Change Country or Region. Choose Russia (or any other country in which you live). Click Next. Read Apple's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Click Accept, indicating your agreement with this document. Next, enter the data into the required fields, which differ from similar fields in a store in another country. Don’t forget, if you have a card linked to your Apple ID, then it must have at least one ruble (or other minimum unit of payment in your country) on it to check its solvency. Click Next again. The inscription “Your Apple ID is now ready for use in the iTunes Store” tells us that we have successfully completed the country and language change.

If you accidentally changed the language of your iPhone (5, 6, 7, 8) or iPad, you can change it to the language you need (Russian) through the Settings application. However, if you need to change the country or region associated with your Apple ID, you'll need to access your account settings.

When you move to another country, changing your country or region allows you to browse the App Store for that country. Once you change your country, you won't have access to purchases made from your previous country, so you should consider creating a new Apple ID.

1. Go to settings.

2. Open iTunes & App Store.

3. Tap your Apple ID and then View Apple ID.

5. You will be asked to select your region (country), select the country that has the Russian language AppStore you need (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and other countries). Scroll to the bottom.

What could be the disadvantages of changing countries?

When you change your billing address, the primary address set in your Apple ID account and other Apple services (such as the App Store and iCloud) is automatically updated.

You may need to update your payment method. For example, you can only pay for purchases in the German iTunes Store and App Store using German credit cards.

The "Purchases" section will no longer display items purchased in the store of the previously specified country (region).

iCloud Photo Library won't show items mapped, downloaded, or added in your previous country/region.
