I recently bought a nintendo DSI for my step son..however the language is in either korean or japanese! i cant tell the difference! is there a way to change the settings to english?!

hi name is rui.

if you have a nintendo ds im sorry to say it cant connect to the internet unless you have a special attachment that lets you connect to the net by a wi-fi its called nintendo wi-fi USB adaptor this willhelp you connect to the net. By the way does your son have nintendo DS/DS lite or nintendo DSi cause their are different ways to connect it to the net DSi can connect to the net easily and it doesn't need an adaptor.

pls rate my comment.

If you are using a japanese DSI then there is no option to change the language from Japanese to English. But here is a youtube video to help assist you with the screens and what each screen means: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaFExyUFZIQ

as i found the hard way, recieveing electronical items from abroad that was not pre-set for import/export do generally not have a language option.
sorry

Sadly, you cannot change the language in the DSi to anything other than the systems default. If you have an imported DSi, it will remain in Japanese.

Sorry about that!

Direct from the guys at nintendo: Nintendo DSi & Nintendo DSi XL - Settings - Language
You will be asked which language (English, French, Spanish) to use during the first time setup of the system, but the language setting can also be done through the system settings.
How to change the language:

1. On the Nintendo DSi Menu, use the stylus to select the Settings ("wrench") icon.
2. Select the right arrow thee times to go to page 4, then select "Language."
3. Select from the options options on the screen:
   • English
   • Fran?ais (French)
   • Espa?ol (Spanish)
4. Select OK (the bottom-right button) to confirm and return to the System Settings.

Take the battery out..Wait 30 minutes and go thru the set-up routine

Or, check the Nintendo site for a download

I am not sure if this will help or not but it is worth a try. Here is how to change the language. Hopefully there will be a option to choose English.

Note: Some games that feature multiple languages may display in the language you have selected in the system settings.
English.

The DSi has not been hacked as of yet, so currently changing the region is not possible. However, if you can guess your way through the settings (I can't help here as my DSi was stolen) then I think you can change the language. Other than that you can't do much else.

nope, sry, its only chinese/english/korean/japanese
to change language press on the blue icon on the top of screen (the one with a wrench) and press the 6th icon, the one that has 4 stripes with an E, a chinese smbol, a japanese smbol and a korean symbol (will you be able to differ between those 4?)

sorry but you made a mistake it will not change to english so sorry but i think it comes out in april 5th in usa and europe
please say question solved sorry for your problem
