Open Chrome

Open Google Chrome on your computer. Make sure the window is active so you can access the main menu. Everything else will happen inside Chrome.

Go to settings

Find the three dot icon in the top right corner of the browser window. Click it to open the main menu, then click the second to last option labeled Settings. If the text is in another language, use its position in the list to select it.

Find the Languages page

On the left side of the Settings page, look for the Languages section. In most browsers, it appears as the seventh option from the bottom. Even if the text is unfamiliar, its location should be consistent.

Click the Relaunch button that appears. Chrome will close and reopen to apply the language change. After the restart, everything should display in English.
