Hi :) For the 2nd point. It's fairly easy to guess which menu is the Tools menu, and "Options" is at the bottom. Then it's a bit tricky to figure which page but once you do get to the drop-downs to select language En(Us) is written in the 'foreign' language but has brackets giving a clue, such as (US) after the English ones
At first i didn't notice that so i had to have 2 machines open, 1 in English, so i could figure out how to navigate to the right place.
