iTunes music store localisation
Visiting the various iTunes music stores I noticed two things:
- Not all stores are in the local language of the country, for example the Finnish is in English - the display language for the store also appears to be independent to the language being used by the user's environment (I switched my environment to Finnish and restarted iTunes, but no difference).
- The main pages feel very Anglo oriented, with very little, to none, in the way of local artists appearing on the main page.
For those of you living outside of the states how much of an issue do you find this and are there other localisation issues that you have?
