For my masters thesis i need to automatically write the information of different android apps from Google Play into a text file. so im using perl scripting language for this automation. My perl script can write information in that text file which is given in the Google Play website but not in English language. As I am located in Sweden, im getting the Swedish version of those apps information. i tried different ways (by changing the language in setting) to make the default language of Google and Google Chrome in English but still written information are in Swedish version. but my browser and everything is in English. Does anyone can help me in this issue? I cannot use information in Swedish language for further analysis.
thanking you in advance.
How about adding a query string parameter hl=en? Google supports it on some of its websites, chances are that Google Play website supports it too.
If I call Google Play website with:
https://play.google.com/store?hl=en
I got english locales. If I call it with
https://play.google.com/store?hl=de
I got German locales etc.

I'm a software engineer student and I need to do a text-to-speech app in vbs for my project. I coded it and it was very easy. The point is I want to make it possible to speak in French for example or in Russian. Can anyone help me? Making it speak in English is very easy.
This is the code:
Dim Message, Speak
Message=InputBox("Enter a text","The speaking App.")
Set Speak=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
Speak.Speak Message
Did you try changing the text-to-speech voice on your computer? I think the text-to-speech api you are using only supports the voice/language set on the machine running the programme. If you need it to read text in another language, you may want to download some additional voices provided by Microsoft.
I am creating an application, and I noticed that nowhere can i find text such as 'pin to start' to use for livetiles in my application (creating a secondary tile). I tried to send Microsoft's AppHub a support ticket, but I only received a response saying that I could not be helped with translations? I clearly stated the need to be standardized and uniform across my third party apps and default behavior, but this had no effect on the answer. My problem arises when I translate my applications using a resx translator tool and Bing for my translation service. Some words to not translate correctly, which is fine because I go back through to check and then attempt to do this manually, but phrases such as 'pin to start' which are so unique to the WP7 application list sometimes do not translate properly at all. I would like to be as close to Microsoft's default language translations as possible for supported display languages, but are there any resources which may help me out? Or am I left in the dust to try to figure these out myself?
There is a page Microsoft Terminology Collection where you can download sets of standard texts.
There is no document that will show you the localized versions of the system strings. For that, you will have to dig through OS files, and that implies that you will have access to the WP OS image. You have to rely on your own translation skills or simply switch languages on the phone to check specific strings.
This is a general research question. Where is ruby used (or usable) as a language for scripting inside a larger application. The goal is to see real-world examples.
So far the list includes:
1) Google Sketchup
2) Vim (some other text editors)

Google it until i add info (on my phone, please excuse me)
say, I have created a WP7 app using the default language in English. The application name that will show in the Application List is English. Now, If I want to change this english-Application name to other languages such as japanese, Chinese,Korean. what I need to do? would appreciate your help with some samples or links of references or tutorial on this subject. It is ok to use part english and part other language to create application name?
This is described on MSDN here. It's a bit convoluted but it does work.
While Paul Annett's answer represents the official recommendations, it also requires that you have the tools for C++ development (which the Windows Phone tools do not).
Patrick's Blog (I've been unable to find a surname) has posted a tool called WP7 Localizer that generates the localized dlls without having the C++ tools installed
