| | Some help with ITunes please
I only get offered music and films from ITunes in German. I tried to change my country or region to UK which I cannot because my billing address is in CH. Can anyone (probably most of you) that are more savvy on this help me ? Thanks

Thanks. I went through those but they are all about changing accounts and not changing the language of the account. I want to keep my swiss billing address but i dont want films and song offers in german

However, I heard that it's not currently possible to get undubbed films, there was another thread about it. They're too expensive anyway.

I'd suggest buying US based iTunes vouchers on eBay, they normally sell for around 10% higher than face value, but when you use those codes you can access the US domestic iTunes store which not only gives you English language stuff, but also a bunch of movies, sports and TV programs that aren't licensed outside of the States.

Honestly, dump the Swiss store and move abroad. Prices are often better (certainly for video content) and choice is wider.
Or seek alternate sources for your material |

Thanks | | | | | If your location is Geneva, you should at least be able to get iTunes in French (I have a Suisse Romande address associated with my account and everything is in French by default). Not sure if this is any better.
Otherwise, when searching the iTunes store by album title or composer it shouldn't really matter what language your interface is in.

If you registered in Itunes with a Swiss adress and credit card then you will be sent to the Swiss iTunes store. If you register with a UK address/credit card / email address , you will be sent to the UK itunes store. Each store uses the countries officical languages.
It's annoying, and I have to have two email addresses which are linked to a UK and a Swiss address.

Recepits on my email -> English.
i can't check my itunes in the office, but here must be a way around it.
(i bought my MAC in CH, and that is when I registered to ITunes)
