AW2521HFL, change OSD language
My wife bought me an Alienware AW2521HFL monitor for Christmas. After getting it connected to my computer, I went to the OSD button in back to finish setting it up. Somehow I chose Chinese as the language and now I can't figure out how to do anything. I'd like to reset it and tried using the softMCCS to reset it, but it still is in the Chinese language. Is there anyway to reset it without using the OSD, as I can't figure out which button will reset it? Thank you so much. I guess I could just learn Chinese, but I still wouldn't be able to figure it out.

To be more specific, you select the "Menu" option (the square icon with horizontal lines), then the Language setting will be the top item on that list; you can scroll to it and then select your preferred language.
Simply showing a picture with the choices in English when the original problem is that the menus are in a language the user cannot read was not sufficiently clear.

Are you saying that you cannot press the Menu button and navigate to the OSD Menu- Language section and change back to English? Page 43 in the online AW2521HFL User's Guide.
If not, can you navigate to the bottom Others and select Factory Reset? Page 45.

My favorite method is using google translate from/to chinese ( simplified, traditional).
You would find the caracters.
