My e-mails come up in English but everything else like deleting comes up in a foreign language that looks like Vietnamese?

    Hi,

    If your emails are in English but the Outlook menus, folders, and settings are displayed in another language, please change the Outlook display language:

    Settings > General > Language and time > select English > Save.

    Then refresh Outlook or sign out and sign back in.

    I hope this helps.

    For Outlook on the web or new Outlook, change the display language here:

    1. Select Settings.
    2. Go to General > Language and time.
    3. In Language (Country/Region), select English.
    4. Select Save.

    If the issue is in classic Outlook on Windows:

    1. Open Outlook.
    2. Select File > Options > Language.
    3. Under Office display language, add or select English.
    4. Under Office authoring languages and proofing, add or select English if needed.

    Because the interface changed unexpectedly, also review account settings for signs of unauthorized changes:

    1. In Outlook settings, review Rules and remove anything not created intentionally.
    2. Review Forwarding and IMAP and remove unknown settings.
    3. Review Junk safe/block lists and remove unknown entries.
    4. Change the account password.
    5. Enable two-step verification.
    6. Use Sign out everywhere to end active sessions. This can take up to 24 hours to fully take effect.
