Change display language Nest Hub Max

I have a very simple question - my Nest Hub Max has its Display language in French, but speaks English. I would simply like to change the language on the display to English. 

Is there no way of doing this? I’ve looked everywhere.

Actually I just did it.
I purchased a Nest Hub in Greece, but the menus were in Spanish.
I contacted google support via chat and a member of the support staff guided me through.

Long story short:

Go to google home page and select your profile in top right. Choose languages and select the language that you want the hub to go to. (it goes without saying that the language should be supported in the nest device). I chose English (UK).

Go to you mobile phone language settings and choose as default the language that you want the hub to go to. Delete any other language. You can add it later, after finishing with the hub.
Uninstall the Google Home app.
Factory reset the hub (hold simultaneously volume up and down button for 10 seconds).
Install the Google Home app.
Set the hub up.
After that, my hub was in English but it was missing most of the features (actually it only had "curated art" on it). I unplugged the power cable, waited for a minute and when the hub booted, I got everything back, in English (it took a minute for all the menus and options to appear, most probably because of my bad internet connection - be patient)!

I would like to know this as well. My display language is in Japanese since I bought mine in Japan back in 2019. I am pretty sure I managed to get it to display English when I first set it up but today I had to run the setup process once again and it has fallen back to Japanese text. Thank you 🙂

Same here. Cannot find a setting for the language when pressing the settings icon on the swipe-up menu on the nest hub touch screen itself ... It's not acceptable that this simple feature is not existing there
