Look for a settings menu item like this 语言及输入法 (Language and input method), select it then you should see 语言 (Language), and then 中文 (Chinese), English, etc.

First problem, that's not Chinese, it's Korean. I can read Chinese, I can't read Korean. Also it's a UI I've never seen before. You bought this Android box from China? Can you see anyway of factory resetting it, as possibly it's got into some funky mode and selected Korean as the UI language for some reason, or could be a plot by Kim Jong-un?

According to Baidu Translate 언어 입력기 is Korean for "Language and input method".

EDIT

What's in that globe icon? Because that looks like 언어, which checks out as Korean for "Language".

Working Kodi repos? @Andrew Cole you might know about that. :)

Bare in mind as you're in the UK, anything pirated will very likely be blocked/censored by your ISP because of copyright infringement and commercial interests.

Secondly.When I shutdown and start this android box,it goes back to Korean,which I reset via globe/language option,each time.Is there nay way to keep it English after restarting each time.

That's an unusual problem. How do you 'shut down' your box?

It's possible that the Korean language has been hardwired into the custom installation of the ROM that was installed by the re-seller.

Perhaps using the alternative launcher may make the language 'sticky'? Or maybe even installing a new launcher.
 
I have the same problem that mdmm45. My SCISHION V88 PRO TV Box Amlogic S905X Quad Core is always in korean language.

I have to change the language each time I use this device.

Also I have installed an alternative launcher but without success. The menu is still korean

Any idea to change the language forever?
 
This worked for me:

Go to settings > HDMI CEC > CEC Switch: On > Auto change language: Off.

Solution kudos to YouTube user, Zoran Purgar.

Nearly two years later and I'm having the same problem with the Chinese box I bought. You guys are Lifesavers. The globe icon is the key to the boxes
language and turning off auto change language under HDMI cec kept my box from turning back to Chinese or Korean or whatever funky language the Box kept turning onto thanks for your help.
