Hi, Yesterday my Hotmail account was hacked and the hacker has changed the language on my account to a different language ,Vietnamese, I believe. How can I change this back to English ?

2026-03-08T11:57:03.3566667+00:00 Yes - thank you very much, but because the language had been changed to Vietnamese, this meant that all the settings options were also in that language. I had to translate 'Region and Language' to Vietnamese first in order to find the correct option to select.
