Hotmail language settings changed
Discussion
Hi all
There’s been some suspicious activity on my Microsoft account, all passwords have now been changed, etc. Unfortunately my Hotmail account is now in a Far Eastern language and I’ve no idea how to change it back to English. The only help I’ve been able to find online seems to assume I speak the language it’s set on.
Could anyone offer any advice before I have to open a new email account; this absolutely the last thing I want to do.
I must admit, I struggle with this sort of thing.

Thank you for your replies.
I should have added that I only have access to my hotmail account on my iPhone. It’s not via the email icon, but in a window that I guess I can’t close, or I’ll lose access. I can’t login on the computer as access is locked due to repeated access requests
I don’t even know if there is a settings option in this hotmail format? The emails are still coming through in English, but everything else is in what I assume is Chinese; “Inbox”, “Send”, etc
I can’t see the icon for settings.
This is an old hotmail account and not the outlook account. There are several YouTube videos showing how to do change the language for Outlook on the iPhone, but I’ve found nothing for Hotmail
I hope this makes sense, I’m rubbish at this sort of thing.
The problem is that everything is done on the phone, so there’re going to be problems next week if I can’t sort it out.
