[SOLVED] App Store change language from Chinese to English

linuxfun2000 · 07-17-2019, 12:55 PM

I want to change the App Store language from Chinese to English.
All system is English except the App Store.

But I don't see an option in the menu of the App Store to change the language.
How to do this?

I'm running Linux Deepin 5.10.2
The App Store version is 5.3.3.0
System language is American English

I have a few thoughts.

1. The screen shot that you uploaded is in the English language and, in my estimation, does not pertain to the problem.

Can you send us an appropriate screenshot of the "App Store language Chinese" problem?

There are a few folks here, me included, that can read Chinese.

2. On the surface, it appears that you have some missing files.Have you tried:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

3. Can you tell us any other ways, or codes, that you have tried?

Thanks for you reply.

This is a screenshot when I open the Appstore.
The titles and descriptions of the applications are in Chinese.

First I had a problem that I couldn't open the Control Center. (It was an earlier version than 15.10, I guess 15.4)
Then I have runned this command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install dde-control-center

After that I updated the system (with apt-update / apt-upgrade)
End then the problem occurs with the Chinese language.

I have now executed the command you suggested:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

Now it's working, language is English again!

Your welcome.

Great news! Glad to hear that, after updating and then upgrading, the Chinese characters changed into English.

Thank you for the Chinese screenshot. FYI, the characters (Chinese writing is called "characters), are in Simplified Chinese.

The added information, the coding, that you brought out, even though it was not the solution to the problem, will help other individuals who have a similar problem as they now know what will work and what not will work.
