I figured it out by chance. It turns out that if you decide not to use Sri in your initial setup the language tab will not be accesible to you. Why is that? I wish I knew but you must enable Siri and then you can select the language tab, and is not a fluke I updated the Apple TV and I had to enable Siri again.

The Siri language is a separate Settings option from the language option for video content, or Apple TV interface.

Siri is only available in certain main languages for (currently) 13 select countries. E.g. an Apple TV in France will only have Siri if the device is set to the French interface language. The US and Canada will have two Siri languages available. Use Siri on your Apple TV - Apple Support
