[ARCHIVED] language

I don't know how my canvas has Spanish language. I have never used Spanish language. How can I change it?

This lesson from the Canvas Student Guide explains how: How do I change the language preference in my user account as a student? 

Of course, the instructions are in English and you're looking at it in Spanish, so you may have to go by position instead of words.

Note that teachers can specify the language for a course and you cannot override that. If you are taking a Spanish course, the teacher may want you to be immersed into Spanish.

If you are not taking a Spanish course and it is forced to Spanish, then the teacher may have misunderstood that setting the course language changes it for everyone, not just the teacher.
