LG tv with WebOS adding new menu language

JustCer

Hey fellow tech nerds and enthusiasts, 

Recently I came up with this problem and could not find any solution on internet, maybe someone has encountered and have a soliton to share.
I bought used Japanese LG smart tv and it only has Japanese menu language. Looking from the side that smart tv is a basically computer there should be a way to add more language or somehow change its region.

Would love to hear you ideas and suggestions

My device model- LG 60UF5800-JB.AJLYLH
webOS version -  04.06.00

open general then settings. theres a language setting there. you "should" be able to change it. or if not do a factory reset then try again.

Have a solution. Got my hands on LG service remote and change region settings in EZ-adjust menu (changed to UK as it was first region code I encountered). 
Now I have multiple menu language selection from Europe.
