This morning I got in my car and the charging screen was in German. The parking app is in German but everything else is in English. I changed nothing in settings and looking at the Car Settings it's set to Language English.

Maybe reset the system or subscribe to Babbel and learn German? ;)

This happened to me with my Taycan. I went into system settings and change the language to German and then back to English. This corrected the problem for me.

Something similar has happened to me:

The welcome screen, camera screens and park assist are all in German, whereas everything else seems to be in English.

I've checked system settings, which confirms the language as English. I am unable to try the solution that worked for @Sparky, as when I try to 'change language' it gives me no option other than English.

What to do?

It took a week or so, but this morning I fired it up, and hey presto, the welcome and camera screens were in English once again!

Taycans in the early days suffered from this - notably with NAV - poor software (still) but will self heal.
