Language CHANGE

My dad, for some reason, changed the damn computer language to Korean. I can barely understand  anything in Korean. The dates, files, notifications, are all damn Korean. So I try to change the language by going to Control Panel, Languages. For some reason, it always freezes when I click it. Someone please help. At this point I can't even use my computer anymore.

Well, I guess now is a better time than ever to start learning a second language :)

In all seriousness I really have no clue what you should do. Worst comes to worst you have to install the OS all over again.

Reboot in safe mode,
See if you can change the language then

Sloth's the name, audio gear is the game
I'll do my best to lend a hand to anyone with audio questions, studio gear and value for money are my primary focus.

If your computer's keyboard still types in English then I guess you can copy paste things into google translate. Or if your Dad knows how to speak Korean as him to guide you. What you could do is go into safe mode like Flying Sloth suggested.

Press F8 while the PC is booting and it brings up advanced boot options, go safe mode, try and change language.

Should prevent crashing

Try opening powershell by copying and pasting the following code into search box after pressing the start button. Press enter to execute it. 

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

It will open a MS-DOS like window (It's blue on background), wait until you see a line that begins with "PS" 

Type the following: 

Set-WinSystemLocale en-US

 

Tell me what you did ...
