How do I change my Chrome language back to English?
Suddenly, my Chrome language has been changed to Tamil. I didn't make this change manually. I don't know how to change this setting to English.
Oh the irony: trying to find the correct menu choices, when they're in a different language.
By way of an alternative, this address will bring up the language page:
chrome://settings/languages
If your preferred language is shown, simply drag it to the top and restart the browser. If it needs to be added, click the button at the bottom of the left pane.
I got the answer from my friend. Here's how to change Chrome language.
Go to Settings » Advanced » Languages.

Browser interface language
The browser interface language is used for browser menus and dialogs and it's based on the language you selected when you first downloaded Google Chrome.
In Windows, follow these steps to change this setting:
- Click Languages and spell-checker settings to open the "Language and Input" dialog.
- Select the language you'd like to use from the list. If the language isn't listed, first add it as one of your preferred webpage languages.
- On the right panel, click Display Google Chrome in this language.
- Restart the browser to apply the changes.
On a Mac, currently the browser interface language is determined by the Language & Text setting in System Preferences. To learn how to update your system language, visit Apple Computer’s Support .
On a Linux, check your system language support.
