Help! My son has changed the computer language

[JudyO]

Someone please help me! My son has changed the language on the computer, and even HE cant find a way to fix it. He tried to fix it yesterday, but this morning the keyboard wouldnt let me type in English until he change it back to Estonski or something like that.

I cant use punctuation still. The words I am when abbreviated, comes out like Iäm. Do you see that. I tried to use a question mark just then and got an underline. I will now type a question to let you see. What should I do_

My tool bars say Plik Edycja Widok Ulubione Narzedzia and Pomoc

My second tool bar says Ulbione Sugerowane witryny Bezplatna usluga pocztowa....

First of all, I have nothing against this language, whatever it is. I always wanted to learn a new language, but this is not what I had in mind.

What language is this_ and how can I change it back to English_

This is on the desktop computer. my son also has a laptop. we tried to go to youtube on the laptop, and people would give us instructions on where to go on the computer to get drop down boxes to change to English, but the boxes are also in the other language. do you know how hard it is to try to fix something when you can not read the drop down boxes_

He changed the language back to Estonski to get the keyboard working, and once I go to a website, it is in English.....like this one thank goodness. but everything else is just not right.

remind me to fire him as my tech guy.

It may be Polish (or other similar slavic language, but definitely not Czech)

If it is Polish, then the option "english" would be "angielski"
