I accidentally changed my Linux system language to Hebrew, but the keyboard layout stayed the same. I can't read the system settings well enough to navigate back to English. Is there a way to restore the language using the terminal or another method?

Another option on systems using systemd is `localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8`. Log out or restart afterward so the new locale takes effect. The exact command may vary slightly depending on your distribution.
If you’re using Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, or a similar system, open a terminal and run `sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8`. Then log out and back in, or reboot the computer.
If you can’t identify the menus, a phone translation app with camera translation can help you find the language settings and switch them back manually.
