Calendar language setting

[MJ217]

I just noticed that when in monthly view anything listed on each day is not in English. I have checked my accounts online and everything seems to be in English. I have no idea why the language switches.

Any ideas?

What language is your calendar showing?

 

[MJ217]

I used google translate to try and figure it out but I am getting various languages and some are unrecognizable.

If I scroll back and forth from that view, it often changes to something else entirely. Kinda confused lol.

Would you please post a screenshot of your calendar in various views?

We might be able to help you with the language settings if we see what is happening.

I just went to next year as I haven't crammed anything into these months beside holidays and birthdays.

If you look at the 1st, 9th, and 16th of that month, whats listed changed between scrolling to a different month and back again.

Everything in Day, Agenda, and To Do, are working just fine.

It's WP 8.0 you're using, right? What you're seeing there is placeholder text. It's just indicating that there's an appointment set for the particular day, but the text is random "lore ipsum" phrases (the language is Latin btw). To see the "real" text, you need to tap the day to open the appointment.
This behavior will change with WP 8.1 though. All the placeholder texts have been removed, colored lines now indicate that you have an appointment on a certain day (in monthly view). The colors used for these lines match those you have defined for your different calendars in the settings.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I did notice a few lines were Latin.

In 8.1 there will be a weekly view as well correct?

Yup, correct.
