My problem is with the Arlo App.

I have the Arlo App installed on my IPad Pro, and recently came back from my holiday in Southern part of Norway. When opning the Arlo App at home(southwest Norway) i was, for sone reason, logget out of the app (it stated that my geolocation was different from last time i was logged in).

When logging back in the language was not Norwegian. 

My Ipad`s language is set to Norwegian, it`s location is in Norway both physically and in system.

I have logged out of the app, deleted it and reinstalled it, but still the App language is not in Norwegian. I think it is German, Swiss or Austrian.

Any suggestion?

Regards.

Thank you, problem solved. In addition you must make sure that your language settings on your IPhone has English as first or second option.

First go to settings on your  iPhone and Select General/ Language and region . If Norwegian is your preferred language then add English as second language.

When this is done you go back to Settings and choose the Arlo app. Now you will have the option to choose language. Choose English and problem solved.

After update of app on Tuesday 18 Aug 20 to Version 2.19.0_5 the language was change from English to German. Make the Arlo tool/camera quite difficult to operate. I deleted the app and re-installed it and ended up With the same result. I don`t have a clue how I can change the settings for language. Arlo support made the problem and has to solve it ASAP. By the way - I think Your digital supprt service are to complicated and in the end not good for your buisness.

Quick support is mandatory

You are right. The development team is aware of the problem and hopefully they will solve it fast.

Hi,

 

This is strange. I have no language setting withing the Arlo setting in settings. BUT when I go into settings - general - languages & region and change from Norwegian to English it works and changes to English. When I then try to change back to Norwegian it changes back to German. Cmon! Fix!

Hi, you need to add English as a second language in your iPhone.
Then you can select English as language in the Arlo app.

Hi, 

 

I found the solution that fixed it on iOS - iPhone:

 

As I was not able to choose language under Settings - Arlo (no choice came up) I did as follow:

 

Setting - General - Language and Region: Add english in addition to you own language

 

Then go back into Settings - Arlo and change to english.

 

This fixed it.

This worked for me. When changing to English on your phone, the language option on app settings appear and you can choose english. The switch the maine language back to norwegian.

I have the exact same results .
Delete app, reinstalled , set English as language in settings... the result is english in app, but still notifications are presented in german language.
In addition also now experiencing instability with the connection to cameras/base station’s (have 2 separate systems) requiring me to log off and on to access cameras again.

(Seems like Arlo released this latest upgrade while test personnel was still on summer vacation..... )

The weaknes if you have a prefer language arlo app don’t support then it swap to German... default langugae should be English and not German or ist these a international product?

Strange choice by Arlo...

I’ve set language to English, and that helps in the app. But the notifications on iPhone and Apple Watch is still in German!
