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

[Christopher Murphy]

Hello Nancy,
	Sometimes things may not be translated right if the phone is in the Spanish language and its picking up things that are in English.
	I am wondering if this may be a bug, or something that we can address with apple?

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.
