iOS: Change language back to English after accidentally changing to a language I don't know

I just plugged my iPhone in and instead of it being in English which it normally is, it's using German & I've not been to Germany. What can I do to get my preferred language back?


Solution 1:

To solve a problem like this, I'd typically go to translate.google.com, type in "General", "International", and "Language", and translate them from English to German.

Or, sometimes I'm fortunate enough to have two computers/devices side by side, or I simply remember the user interface layout, and I navigate by menu item location.

I changed my iPhone 4 to run in German (Deutsch), and the German words are:

Einstellungen (Settings) > Allgemein (General) > Landeseinstellungen (Country settings) > Sprache (Language)

So just look for those words to navigate through Settings and change back to English.
