Q: How can I reset a language on my ipod?

I accidentally hit the Chinese button for language when I was trying to reset my ipod (classic) and now all the characters are in Chinese, so I do not have the means to reverse the mistake.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks so much!  I lucked out and was able to fix the problem!  Though the reset did not work, I managed to find the language option and set it back to English.

    Another option for those in a similar situation in the future... if you somehow can't reset, or otherwise find the correct menu option in the language selected, use Google Translate for words seen on the iPod. With the exception of Chinese, you'd think you can eventually find your way. In Chinese, I suspect you'll have to use the translator backwards, finding the Chinese translations for "settings", "language" and "English" to find your way.
