    Android Help Needed


    I am extra new with android tablets. Today I turned it on and everything was in Chinese. Even in English I am pretty much lost with a tablet. I need help in getting this thing back to English. When at the Desktop, I see the two rows of "three dots" in the top right hand corner. If I hit that it takes me to Menu Screen with various icons. From there I am stuck. There is one icon with "three switches left to right on the icon".
    I am not sure if that is the settings icon or not. If I go there I can't tell which icon is for English. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    it would be handy to know the make and model of the tablet, perhaps then if someone here has the same one they could give you the steps to change the language.

    FINALLY.............I thank you so much for helping. It turned out the Default setting had been put to Chinese so that is what came up. Before I got to English, I had it in German. What an adventure. Those things are just too "touchy" for me. :) By your giving me the hint of the "A" to look for, that got me rolling. Thanks again.

    Now I do feel bad. You don't have a tablet and you solved my problem. Almost anything can be found in Google.
