[welshkyle08]

I've changed the language on the client, the steam mobile app everything.

Even emails are getting sent in chinese I have no.clue what is going on?

Half my games are in English the rest chinese so strange

My suggestion go the deauthorize devices, and change password first.

Follow steps 1-6 just to be sure.

1. Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Check that the email and phone number on the Steam account are still yours.
3. Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Change passwords from a trusted/clean device.
5. Generate new backup codes for your Mobile App https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
6. Revoke the API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey (there should be nothing in the APIKEY)

After do all those steps above, you can make changes for Language on ACCOUNT here.
https://store.steampowered.com/account/languagepreferences

For CLIENT app language settings, you open settings > interface > should be the drop down menu you select your language.

This may not be the reason why you cant change back to English but it's worth checking.

Did the hijacker change your method of payment? If so then that would have reset your store front to the country of the hijacker.

I believe its 3 months before you can change store back to your original.

Did you do all steps?

Also change email password on associated account after deep malwarebytes scan.

You did do the 2nd post steps right? If someone sits on your account you want to do the steps to kicking them off your account.

And for changing language on Steam I posted TWO things have to do, on account settings you must change primary language from it drop down menu, and save. The 2nd thing to do is open Steam settings on your client, click on interface, and change the language from there to your language.
