Facebook How to change language

Susan1942

Help I have accidentally changed my language to some Chinese type script
I have read that I should go to settings on top right but all the headings are now on the opposite side I don't seem to be able to access settings
I see the drop down arrow The lock Then the Globe Private message and Friends
Could anyone please advise me I would appreciate it very much Sue

Can you see the down arrow key next to the lock?

Yes I can see the arrow on my laptop but not on my phone or tablet
When I click on it I am not able to read anything that it says Could you perhaps let me know just where the settings are?
Much appreciated Sue

click on the little down arrow at the top right that looks like this and choose settings. Even in Chinese, it’s still your fourth option from the bottom.

Now scroll to the very bottom of the page. You can actually scroll to the very bottom of ANY page, but the settings one is shorter than going through miles of Facebook posts. At the very bottom of the page off to the left, you’ll see the language that Facebook is being displayed in. Even if it’s written in a different language that’s still where to click.

Click on it and you can change the language back to English.

As long as you're logged-in, you should be able to change it by going to https://www.facebook.com/language.php

Gosh I will try that as I am still struggling to find what I need on the drop down. I have got help etc I have got something that says you must log in again to change setting.
I log in and then I can see all my details but in those squiggles. Thanks

Thanks you so very much! Success after about almost 2 hours. That was so easy will not forget that in a hurry.
Thanks again ! I will check now from the drop down arrow and see where I should have been clicking on. Sue

I have now checked out using the drop down arrow. I in fact was on this page but didn't realise that the language was at the side and down on scrolling down. It is easy when I can read it but very difficult otherwise. Main thing is all is well. Thanks again to you both Sue
