That is until I decided to reset the MS2 via the menus a few weeks ago. When the unit boots up it displays the default language value of German. I go through the menus to change it to English but it never changes. If I return to the language menu after the "change" it is set to English but everything is still displayed in German. If I change it to any one of the other languages it still stays in German. I have nothing against German but it gets difficult to program decoders when having to look up the translations. Has anyone ever experienced this and it there a solution? I have reset it dozens of times hoping that it will work this time.

Paul Hi, After you select "English", have you press the button associated with it? In your picture, after you select "English", then press the third button from the top, on the left part of screen? It should change to English after an automatic restart, if not, then it's weird. Sorry, cannot help to much, never had this problem before, perhaps another members in this forum can help you. Good luck. Sony

What I was hoping to show with the picture is that English has been selected, but all the menus still show up as German. When I do change the language from German to English it does not do an automatic restart. It just returns to train control screen. Is that what it is supposed to happen? Paul

You just have to find someone in your area with an updated Central Station 2 to plug in to. If that does not fix it, then there may be a problem. Gordon

Since I started to use the MS2 I always thought I would enjoy a second one for my layout. Any thoughts on the best place/person to buy from to ensure I get the latest software? Paul

Well they are few and far between here in the states, I would think that any of the major dealers here could check for the update before shipping. I could update yours for the cost of postage, if you would like to try it. I will also have some new ones with update for sale soon , you may pm me for details if you are interested. Gordon

Paul It is odd, and I was just thinking it would be worth a try if you had the older software. How about the Launguage / Sprachdatei version ? that changed recently, mine is V 1.48 and I seem to think it may have been rolled back to a previous version in the last update, (CS2 V. 2.2.0 ) but am not sure . Compared to the previous version mobile station I have found the MS2 to be pretty solid and hope yours will get sorted out. Gordon

SW V1.3 HW V2.0 LDB V009 10/2 (February 2010) I can confirm that selecting "Sprache" then "english" after the reset will return to the loco panel immediately. I've never had the problem that you describe. It would be nice if the update could be done with a loco card. It would be even nicer if post-MS2 locos came with a loco card as do they do in the starter packs.

Then you could do the loco and MS2 programing from a PC or Mac. Paul

I plugged the new MS2 into the conection box and it automatically updated the German speaking unit. Changed the language and now all seems to be working great! If you are looking to get the MS2 in the US, Gordon is your guy. Paul

Joined: 31/10/2023(UTC) Posts: 11 Location: Victoria, Melbourne		I know this is an old thread but I received a new ICE 2 Starter set (29792) 2 days ago that contains the MS2 (60657) and it is supposed to have software update 3.55. However I get exactly the issue that is described by the OP. I note that "English' is spelt 'Englisch' but the other languages listed seem to be correct for that language (I can recognise the French and Danish spellings at least). I can provide other information as to version number s from the 'Information' displays (but please let me know what abbreviations are required as they are in German). Otherwise very happy with the new kit. Susan

So if the language file is missing or damaged on your MS2, then any update should do the trick. Even an "update" from the same version should be enough to restore the translations file. Updates can be done from MS2 to MS2, from CS2 to MS2, and from CS3 to MS2.
