Change storefront localization?
Hi,
I just bought me a K-Glo yesterday and am a happy camper, I can finally ignore both tablet and laptop when going out in cafeteria etc.

What bothers me the most is the localization in the Kobo store: I may live in Lisbon and even look like a local person but no way I can read a book in Portuguese. How can i tell the shop that I prefer the recommendations and everything else in there in some other language?

Cheers!

I've just looked at my Kobo Desktop app and in the far top right corner you'll notice the spanner tool ... open it and then choose Preferences and language.

Edit
Next time you sync the Kobo Desktop app with the device - I'm assuming that it will change the device preferences to English also.

I am in New Zealand with reader and website account set to English, but Kobo still sends me recomendations for books in German, which is not an official or commonly spoken language here. Somehow I don't think their recommendation algorithm is taking language into account at all.

Oh Geoff, Kobo's idea that Kiwis speak German just tickles me enormously
