Living in Frogland cars are darned expensive second hand. I can buy far better in Germany. While I speak good French my German is rusty. Can the language of the COMAND system be changed from German to either French or English somehow? I'm looking at a C200 CDi 2012 estate.

ETA This would apply to a UK car as well I guess, in that while it would be set in English can you change it if you want? Just like a mobile phone.

I've just bought a CLS and been studying the handbook while travelling.
I'm sure there was something on changing languages.
I'll check again and come back.

So, to change language, go to the 'Systems' menu and press the 'Language' soft key.

Danke schon mein herr. Ich muss das tun. Oh dear - I do wish I hadn't forgotten the majority of my German. I guess a few months there and it would all come back, but anyway, I thank you muchly for taking the time to have a look at the possibilities.

I'm in Switzerland I have a 2012 C class and COMAND in mine can be changed to English. Even the voice control (Lingathingy) also switches. The dealer even sent me the English manual.
