iCarsoft has established itself as a leading manufacturer of professional-grade, yet affordable, vehicle diagnostic scanners. From the popular iCarsoft CR MAX to the iCarsoft POR II and MB V2.0, these devices are shipped worldwide. Consequently, they support multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Chinese.

Do not worry. This guide will walk you through resetting the language back to English (or your preferred tongue) regardless of your iCarsoft model. We will cover the standard menu paths, touchscreen vs. button navigation, and a "blind reset" method for when you cannot read the current settings.
If your screen is currently in Chinese, Russian, or Arabic, ignore the text. Instead, look for universal icons:
Changing the language on an iCarsoft diagnostic tool is a straightforward, non-destructive operation requiring access to the Settings → System → Language path. For all modern iCarsoft devices, the change is instantaneous and persists through power cycles. In cases where the language menu is inaccessible or the device is locked to a single language, a firmware update or factory reset (using button combination) reliably restores English and enables language selection.
