how can I change the language to English
@abiodun alatishe
Hello abiodun,
You can’t change the system language at all. The toy is shipped with a predefined language burned into the system memory.
Cheers
@Alex
if so would that mean if someone find the code of the system memory could they edit the code to be english?
also would be kind cool if som,eone make a video game with the in-system BASIC
