Does anyone have an Aptiva from around 1997 and can help me find where is the menu/submenu tu change language?
I got one in German, I'm using the "translate on screen" from the iPhone, but can't find the language settings anywhere

I explored the same issue for a slightly older IBM 486 that I have, and the bios language is in French. As far as I could find out there is no option for a language change within the bios and I will have to flash the bios with an English version to avoid the bother of translation.
