How to Undo a Facebook Language Change
Did you change Facebook to a language you don't understand? You can translate Facebook back into your preferred language, even if you don't understand any of the menus or settings. One option is to run Facebook through a translation site so that the entire site translates to English on the fly, with the intention of making things easier to read.
