change email back to english

Hi, I'm John!

Do you currently have full access to your Outlook account (you can sign in normally and see your inbox and settings)?

About language change due to hacking. You’ll need to update your language settings under the "Your Info" page:

• Visit: https://account.microsoft.com/profile/msa-language-settings and sign in with your Microsoft account.
• This will open the "Your language settings" page.
• From there, edit both your Display Language and Preferred Language.
• Reset Outlook app and sign in again.

Let me know how it goes.

For Outlook, the language is controlled either by the device (mobile apps) or by the Outlook web/app language settings. After regaining access to the account, change the language back to English as follows.

For Outlook on Android or iOS

1. The Outlook app follows the device language. Change the device language to English:
   • Android: open Device Settings > Language and input and set English as the device language.
   • iOS: open Settings > General > Language & Region and set English.
2. On some Android devices, Outlook also lets you change language in-app:
   • Open Outlook.
   • Go to Settings > General > Language and select English.

For Outlook on the web (Outlook.com)

1. Sign in to Outlook.com.
2. Open the Outlook language settings page using the Outlook.com or Hotmail language settings link.
3. Choose English from the language list and save.

If other Microsoft pages or services are also in the wrong language, check:

• PC language settings (Windows display language) and set it to English.
• Browser language settings (for example, in Microsoft Edge, go to Settings > Languages) and move English to the top.
• Microsoft account language settings at the account profile page and set English as the display language.

If security notifications (verification emails/SMS) are in the wrong language because of the hack, remove and re-add the security info (phone/email) so that it is recreated with the correct language. Do not remove all security info at once to avoid a 30‑day restriction.
