Message language

[GuyLateur]

Hi,

Since all messages will henceforth be found in my message center, I would like to receive them in English or Dutch, not in French as is the case now. How can I change this? In my account settings, the language is set to English, so there must be some other setting/preference.

TIA!

Hi, same problem with different language. I asked for English, even though I'm French, but as leaving in Bulgaria, I receive messages in Bulgarian, which I don't want at all, as I am not fluent in the language.

Same here, received a "conditions generals" message so I'd like to be able to understand what it says... Preferred  language=English so really weird to receive this in French somehow.

It seems like PayPal creates legal documents only in your country's official language. It is probably obliged to do so. If your preferred language is not one of them, it will still send the document in your country's official language.

When there is more than one official language and your preferred language is not one of them, you'll receive the documents in the default one. For example, it seems like in Belgium PayPal will send legal documents in French if your preferred language is English. At least that is what I can see. Reading legalese in a language that is not your native language is hard, so it would be nice if you could select a preferred language for legal documents from a country-dependent set of languages.
