    To return your folder names in Outlook to English, you can use the following methods:

    Method 1: Reset Default Folder Names Using Outlook on the Web

    1. Exit Outlook.
    2. Log on to Outlook on the web using your credentials.
    3. Select Settings > View all Outlook settings.
    4. Select General > Language and time.
    5. In the Language list, change the language to English and select the checkbox for Rename default folders so their names match the specified language.
    6. Select the date and time format you want to use, then select Save.
    7. Exit Outlook on the web and restart Outlook to check if the folder names appear in English.

    Method 2: Reset Default Folder Names Using PowerShell

    If you have administrator permissions, you can run the following cmdlet:

    set-MailboxRegionalConfiguration -id <alias> -LocalizeDefaultFolderName:$true -Language en-US -DateFormat <your_preferred_DateFormat>
    

    Replace <alias> with your mailbox alias and <your_preferred_DateFormat> with your preferred date format.

    After executing this command, restart Outlook to see if the folder names have reverted to English.

    These methods should help you restore your folder names to English after experiencing suspicious activity on your email.
