Skyrim text is in Chinese. How do I change it to English? - Blackboard with YOUR LIFE MATTERS inscription on black background

I got The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Legendary Edition), but all the text is in Chinese. How can I switch it to English? I've already tried searching for the option to do so, but I couldn't find anything.

If on PC, this from the Bethesda Support Page might help

To change the language of the subtitles in Skyrim, follow the below steps:

  1. Open Documents folder.
  2. Open My Games folder.
  3. Open Skyrim folder.
  4. Right-click on Skyrim.ini file, select Open With, and open with Notepad.
  5. Change "sLanguage=ENGLISH" to "sLanguage=" with "" being whichever language you need.
  6. Click File, then Save.

If you are on console, it may be more of a problem, as the console copies of the game were only given language options appropriate to their region of sale. Ensure your console primary language is set to English.
