I am British but live in Germany. I need two Apple IDs for the same iPad. One for my UK account and one for a German account because you can only subscribe to BBC iPlayer Global on non-UK stores. I don't really use the German iTunes account because Apple forces me to use the store in German, which is viable but certainly not my personal preference.
Programmers have a bad habit of assuming that country of residence == language preference.
A worse practice is IP-to-location and then assuming language preference. Grrrrrr.
Did you know that there are more Catalan speakers in the world than people that speak Norweigan? I used to live in Spain. All websites assume you speak Spanish. That must really piss off Catalan speakers, all 11.5 million or so of them.

Ontario here. A few websites have been persistently trying to show me French. The fact that my dynamic IP sometimes shows up as being in Montreal doesn't help at all. But some websites just seem to assume that all Canadians speak French! Luckily, most Anglo-Canadians know by instinct where to locate the English version. We've been thoroughly trained to do that :)
