Please provide me the exact make/model of your tablet so that I can provide you on how to change the language or at least restore the tablet to the factory default state so that you can select the correct language when you set it up.

Please provide me more information about the problem. I thought that the language problem is already resolved? You mentioned on our conversation on top that 'things are now in english'.

Could you please explain further what's going on? Any particular menu, screens where you are not seeing English language?
