How do I change the language for a diagnostics test?

[MilamCounty]

My laptop just began locking up when rebooted, the message is that Google Chrome did not shut down correctly.  I've restored the pages and rebooted many times which doesn't fix the problem.  In trying to run the diagnostics test, I cannot change the language to English.  How do I reset it?
