updates are they regional

I've moved my UK LG tv temporarily to France. If I update the firmware will it become French specific? Also, if I update the apps off the LG page or on my TV, will they become French specific. The French focused censorship, programming and the exclusive dubbing of original film languages in French is the last thing I want to deal with. 

I would like to be using the most current apps and firmware, but I'll continue with old stuff if it risks being captured by French limitations.

Why don't you download the firmware from UK website and update manually?

Thanks for your inpt.   Sounds complicated and that would be the next resort if I can't find out a straight answer from LG about what their own bios does in this situation. It still doesn't resolve the same issues with Youtube, Netflix, etc...   Guess what I'm asking is are these apps native to the TV system, and then only adapted later when opened up under a sign in or local IP.
