    French language Marketplace App and Market Descriptions on English phone with Belgium/Dutch settings

    Is this some bug or is this the classic "oh its belgium, we'll give them all french" ____, websites and other applications pull, being utterly ignorant that Belgium is composed of 60% dutch speaking people and around 30% French speaking people?

    Ok ok, a whopping lot of the flemish people also speak french and not that many french ones speak dutch, but come on.

    If you want to install the wrong language, at least use english, then neither of the language groups can be pissed about it.

    I hope this is fixed REALLY soon.

    So far my phone has automaticly installed 3 or 4 versions of the Marketplace and My Phone apps and each time I was hoping the update would mean the Marketplace was in English or Dutch now.

    Oh yeah, if its not bad enough the app is in french, the desciptions of most of the apps are showing in french too!

    And to clarify further, NO, I have no, nothing, nada, zilch, rien und geine settings on this entire phone that even remotely would suggest I want anything French on it.
