For whatever reason Omnifocus switched from english to Chinese??? language.
How can I switch back to english?

I already deleted and re-installed the application. And I
restarted the Iphone also. No change.

Any help is appreciated!

-> IPhone Software Version 2.1
-> latest OmniFocus Version for iPhone
-> OmniFocus 1.5 release candidate 2 (v77.13.2.0.106199) MAC

Cheers, Jens

You have probably accidentally activated the Chinese keyboard on your iPhone - when you show the keyboard, beside the space bar on the left hand side, do you have a 'globe' icon. If so press the globe icon until you see English (UK) (or whatever other form of English you are using) in the space bar.

To prevent this from happening again, and assuming you don't need the Chinese keyboard, disable it and other language input by going to iPhone Settings>General>International>Keyboards and turning off any languages you don't use.

Hello,

thanks for your response. I only have/had german for keyboard and country/region setting. So no change in terms of displayed character set.

Any other advice or suggestion?

regards, Jens

The iPhone maintains an ordered list of your preferred languages, and when it launches an app it uses the first language in the list. While German is currently selected as your first language, it sounds like Japanese is currently above English in your list of alternate languages.

You can see the order of this list in iPhone Settings>General>International>Language. Unfortunately, you can't edit it directly there.

Instead, to move English higher in the list, you can temporary enable English as an alternate keyboard (under iPhone Settings>General>International>Keyboards). Once you've done this, you can turn it back off, and your iPhone should now show you OmniFocus in English rather than Japanese.

(By the way, a German translation is currently in progress; we expect it to be ready in time for v1.1.4.)
