Welcome to the lucky few that have bought this wonderful machine.

I bought mine in usa, and got an american market. Ok, not much fuss about that, but when I got back home to Sweden it got transformed to Swedish version. All I had to do was change the language. Not sure if this helps much.

You can find a market.apk file on the XDA forums here but it sounds like it's locating you and making Chinese the default language. Try looking into settings in the market app or the tablet in general and turning off the "use my location" features which will probably override other settings...

Same thing..

Btw... the Chinese market called "HiMarket version 2"

any Idea

Did you try and change your locale or did you try and download the apk file and install it over te old one ?

might try this "location & security - My Locaton" uncheck all three.
"Language & input" change to another language, maybe uk if you have us and vice a versa.
"date & time" selecte a different timezone

Maybe this will help.

it did not, I tried it many times ..

I think i need to download an official Android market .. but i don't know how !

Where was it used first? It may be that it just remember the first use in china and maybe removing google account from sync in settings first, then clearing data from applicaations settings. Then adding google account again and starting market on a usa wifi will fix all for you. If it still goes not help try what happens if you start a weblink to a market app from somewhere here. It should give you an option to run via browser or market-see if that could be a workaround.

Sounds like you have tried most of it.
Have you concidered trying to do a reset/factory reset? See if that helps.
