    Hi Michael,

    Good day. I'm Jhun an independent advisor. Let's get started and fix your Windows 11 to get back the English language. I'll accompany it with screenshots incase you cant understand the words on your Windows

    1. Open Settings (Windows + I)
    2. Click Time & Language.

    3. Language and Region.

    4. Choose English under "Windows display language". Also check the region if it is set to a region/country that uses Hebrew.

    I hope this helps.

    To change the language settings in Office back to English, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Language Preferences:
      • If you're using Windows 10, click on Start, then go to All Programs, select Microsoft Office, and choose Microsoft Office 2016 Tools. From there, select Office 2016 Language Preferences.
    2. Set Editing Language:
      • In the Choose Editing Languages section, find English in the language list and select it. Click on Add to add it to your editing languages. If English is already listed, select it and click on Set as Default.
    3. Set Display Language:
      • In the Choose Display and Help Languages section, find English under Display Language and set it as default as well.
    4. Restart Office Applications:
      • After making these changes, restart your Office applications to see the changes take effect.

    If you are unable to access the language preferences due to the Hebrew interface, you may need to navigate through the menus based on the layout or use a translation tool to assist you in finding the correct options.
