Hm, this is the first I've heard of something like this, @Frenchitem.

When you say "Terminal device", are you referring to the Square Terminal, or are you using a different piece of Square hardware? I want to make sure we're on the same page here before we dig in.

YES! I’m using THE Square terminal! I wish I could speak French!

I also wish I could speak French, @Frenchitem...😣

Since this is an issue I haven't heard of before, it would be really helpful if you're able to attach a couple of photos that would show us exactly what you're experiencing. We'll be able to dig in better once we're seeing what you're seeing. Thank you in advance for any additional details you're able to provide!

Thanks for the screenshot!

Do you see the globe icon in the bottom left of the keyboard? If you tap that, it should be where you can change your keyboard language back to English!

I just noticed something similar happening today on my Square register. When I was typing a new item name into my items, the auto correct suggestions kept coming up and appeared to be in French. I didn't notice the globe icon (thanks @pessosices I'll check my register tomorrow and see if I have that icon), but I did find a Setting for Language. It was already set to English USA, so I checked something else and then back so I could toggle it on/off and back to English USA. When I checked again, this seemed to correct this issue. Thought I'd make a note here...I did not see this before.
