[Trainer-Talk] Using Apple with voiceover and Spanish as default language

[Francisco Salvador Crespo]

Hello Nancy.

I'm a Spanish native and have used the iPhone in Spanish for most of the time. Now it's set to English. I don't remember seeing app icons not translated, so I don't know what you are referring to. If you'd like, please write me of list and I will try to help you out.

thanks.

We have the default language for the phone in Spanish Ecuador). In Voiceover, we have the rotor language set to Spanish, Mexico. We also have the option for English.
