Update (15 Sep 03:23pm) : iTune switched back to Chinese this afternoon for no reason at all after running fine all morning. I had to go into the iTune directory and copy away all the useless language directories leaving just the English directory for iTune 5 to work and hopefully stay working in English for good this time. Unfortunately, the same workaround method proven to be useless for QT7 though.

Update (04:13pm) : While this method works with iTune, there is still a problem with QuickTime7. Since Apple have integrated iTune and QT7 installations into one single installation, no matter you download the iTune or QT7 for WindO$, you’d get both in one installation file. I have tried removing all of iTune as well as QT, rebooted the PC, made sure I had the area units in Control Panel selected with English (US), and then reinstalling both from scratch. iTune came out as English, QT7 came out as Chinese! I have heard my cousin saying that there were some suggestions for the iTune installation to have all the other language files removed to a new sub-directory leaving just the English language file in the iTune directory would also work. This method, however, would seem to work for iTune only since the QT directory is a mess with all the language sub-directories scattered all over many sub-directories within the QT directory. Doing so would take some time and patience, both of which I am lack of.

I have been upgrading several versions of iTune 4.x and just now tried to upgrade to iTune 5 on my PC. I have Chinese WindO$ XP Pro and installing English versions of iTune 4.x have never been a problem showing English menu in iTune. I have selected English as my preferred language at the beginning of the iTune installation, yet iTune still turned out to be in Chinese.
After several re-installations, I finally have to change the preferred unit settings in the area and language setup of WindO$’ Control Panel into English(US) and re-installed iTune before it gave me the English version of iTune. This has never been necessary for previous versions of iTune.
