I bought a Samsung Galaxy phone a few years ago while i was in Czech Republic as an expat and i also created a Samsung account to make the most of my device. My account is using the English language as a preference
I moved back to Greece and recently i bought an S23 phone from the Greek market. After logging on with my Samsung account i started customizing my phone by selecting apps and themes from Samsung store and galaxy themes app respectively.
Galaxy Themes for some reason keeps showing Czech language in it's content page. Samsung experts told me that it pulls up data from a lot of sources and also checks the country the account has been created to, before showing content on user's screen and that i should create a new Samsung account in Greece to solve my issue.
So i created a new account using a different email and i used it to log on to Samsung account and Galaxy Themes.
To my surprise the problem still remains. I see Czech language in Galaxy Themes app and i have no idea what else to do. I tried clearing cache and data from the app but the problem is still there.
I opened a ticket to the Czech Samsung support and i am waiting for a possible response.
Anyone ever had that issue?????
Solved! Go to Solution.

I managed to find the solution myself.
Looks like Galaxy Themes app reads country/language data from the last sim card in line. I have 2 sim cards one Greek and one Czech. I switched slots (Greek sim slot 2 - Czech sim slot 1) which resolved the problem.
This behavior happens ONLY got Galaxy Themes app. The rest of the apps such like Store etc work based on the country/language settings i have on my Samsung account.
Bottom line, i deleted my initial account probably for nothing and Samsung's junior support have no feedback from the actual devs behind the apps.

I have something along these lines. I am from UK but now live in Hong Kong. Recently bought an A16 locally and the Galaxy Themes uses Chinese for titles, no other app does this. I do not have the luxury of swapping out SIMs. Any ideas what I might be to do?

Themes app gets your locale from the sim which i assume is from a local provider hence the chinese results. The only way to display the app in different language is to use different country sim

Wow, sort of understand. Ah well. Thanks for the reply.
