Re: Purchasing Lion, International Issues

[Michael Busboom]

Hello Anne,

First of all, I would like to thank you and everyone else who responded to my 
note.  Since I am on vacation, I won't be downloading Lion just yet, but I did 
want to plan ahead.

I have noticed that besides mention of the new voices that can be downloaded 
for free, very few postings that I have read talk about new Voice Over 
features.  I looked on Apple's accessibility page and did not locate any such 
list.  Does anyone know if the new Lion Voice Over Manual has been posted 
anywhere?

To all of you who have downloaded Lion, enjoy!

Best regards,

Mike

Hello Mike,

You'll have no problem with the language. As you know, I live in France but run 
my Mac in English and it's never been a problem.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Purchasing Lion, International Issues

Hi Michael

I am currently living in the UK, but I performed a fresh install of Lion on 
Wednesday. English was chosen automatically when the OS installed. I say this 
because at the time, I was away from the computer. When I went back and didn't 
hear anything, I turned on VoiceOver to discover that it was in English. Now 
Lion is available in other languages of course, but I believe English is the 
default choice on the "Language Chooser" screen. Hope this answers your 
question.

TC :)

I think you should be ok Mike.  I purchased my machine in the US, but have 
successfully upgraded to Lion from Ireland.  Now I'll add the caveat that I'm 
using english (albeit a strangely pronounced and spoken variety) so I'm only 
partially answering your question.

Purchasing Lion, International Issues

[Michael Busboom]

Hello listers,

When I get a chance, I will purchase and install Lion.  I am wondering, 
however, if the process will be as straightforward for me and other expatriates 
as it is for someone who doesn't have his or her residency in a country other 
than the one in which the Mac was purchased.  Here is my situation more 
specifically:

I bought my Mac when I visited my parents in the United States.  When Snow 
Leopard came out, I had friends send me the DVD from the U.S.  I currently live 
in Vienna, Austria, and I do not plan to visit the States for at least three 
months.  When I go to the App Store here in Austria, will it be possible for me 
to purchase an English version of Lion?  Sometimes, companies automatically 
assume that if an order originates in a certain country, that particular 
language will be the default language when the product is purchased.  While I 
don't mind speaking German in the least, I still prefer to work with my 
operating systems in English.

Thanks for any thoughts,

Mike
