Hi to all,

Does anybody know how to change UI language in Google Latitude?

Mine reads regional settings and gives me whole UI in local language, and I prefer it in english.

But there is no way to change the language.

It is so annoying that I am on the verge to uninstall Google Latitude because of that.

Thanx in advance!

Google will per default direct you to your local language. I think it is possible to "trick" it to get you an English version :)

Just look around at the download page, should be a "change language" option for the download.

Sorry Snapphane, but you are not right.

I have downloaded Google Latitude using my computer with all english settings.

Also, I tried to change regional settings on the phone, and if the settings US, then the program 'speaks' english. When I change it back to other country, it changes UI language to that country.

I was asking if there are hidden settings (some registry tweaks, maybe) to keep Google Maps (Latitude) using english for UI.

Delete the language files that are in the GoogleMaps folder.

I had the same problem so before installation of GoogleMaps I changed the regional settings to English. After installation I deleted the language files (only kept "gmm_launcher.dll", "gmm_setup.dll" and "GoogleMaps.exe".) and changed the regional settings to my native. GoogleMaps stayed English :)

Which one is the language file?
