Glad you got it figured out there Ol' George.

Few years back my 'phone decided I must Latino and started auto correcting everything to Espanyol. I was sending out some crazy texts for a while till I figured out what was going on.

I have Verizon for my home landline service (yes, still have a landline), and I use their system for voicemail.
A couple months ago I accidentally fat fingered some digits when accessing the voicemail and changed the language to Spanish. When I called voicemail I couldn't understand the prompts.
I called Verizon support and naturally they told me to "Just follow the prompts and change it back to English!" DUUHHHHH..... Eventually they were able to change it for me remotely.

The best part is, I had taken a year of Spanish back in high school. It's the only subject that I ever failed.

Funny,
us old farts don't like change.
My land line is my stand by, always works,--- well mostly, as the mice like to chew the wires in the system along the highways, and it provides my lightning fast DSl 'net.
it is almost as fast as my old dialup they provided, although that dialup sound is gone.
I carry an emergency phone in the truck/tractors or my pocket because my kids worry about me.
it is not that old but only partly works, as the analog part don't work anymore.

Well been having some connection problems with it saying "emergence use only"
so just yesterday I called with my reliable land line, to get some assistance addressing the problem.
Lucky the fellow spoke good southern English instead of india or packa sand Egypt or something.
so he tells me to remove the Sim-card and reinsert it.
I told him it don't have one, he couldn't understand that till I told him it was a kyrocera kx something, in a few minutes he says that phone is no longer in our system and you need to update phones.
I told him it worked a few weeks back.just restore it to that time like we do computers.
Well soon it was back working but he said 3G is all but gone.
I told him I'll all but gone also!
I don't want to relearn one of this snappin' chattin'spaced out bookie fones.
Hell,
I still miss the ol'party line, that was our community gossip information, not face plant or whatever.

Now as far as talking ferrin' languages, ya I had that Mexican problem on my emergency phone some years back, I had to call service on the land line
and they walked my through the prompts to fix it, but it was pretty simple.
But it taught me to not push buttons in "settings" unless I knew the repercussions.
So now I got to learn how to operate a "smart phone"

My daughter give me her old one that done got the crystal broken a few months ago, and said to play with it and learn how it works because soon I would need to get one.
Guess she knew they were eliminating 3G.
I think that phone is from star trek because when it turns on it says "android" and I remember that from Star trek on TV some years back.

Just let me use my ol'bag phones, I liked them, the battery lasted for months and they put out 5 watts of power and would talk like ham radio's, and didn't need these
ugly towers every 1/4 mile seems like.
I got both them bag phones in the closet along with my Hallicrafters Sx and my linear for the ol currier.
Aw well. progress they call it.
As far as Spanish in skool, mother said the pope was italian not spanish and they don't speak latin anymore so that took care of those 2 choices.
Hell English gave enough problems with all that diagram stuff, still haven't used any of that in my life time!
Diagrams is for blueprints and such.

Yeah, all I got is a little flip phone that I carry for emergencies.
Even it has more options than I want, and I use them so infrequently that I always forget how anyways. I wish it had a rotary dial.
I did 32 years at the fone works (AT&T) and my family can't understand why I hate fricken fones.

Edit to add: But I love my computer!
