Are you saying your Recovery HD is in Chinese? Or you see like a scrolling advertisement with different languages? If the latter, just click Continue to get to the OS X Utilities Menu.

Dear keg55,

Thank you for your concern and response. But is exactly as described it. I mention I have the Mac mini in my language is Spanish and before erasing all leave the English language is universal language in computing.When clic on apple restart and when music sounds I clic Command + R and start on the screen restart the Recovery in Chinese. I run several times and always the same. I think l´ll have to reinstall the operating system again.

Now I did it again and again in Chinese. I can not believa but true. Sorry for my English.

Thank

You can change the OS X Recovery language. To do it, start in OS X Recovery, select the third option in the menu bar (starting from the left). Then, select the first option you see under the option you pressed and you will be able to change language

mende1's solution is correct.

Here's a little more detail.

When you restart using COMMAND+R, you will see the OS X Utilities Menu (in Chinese). So, starting on upper left of the screen you should see the Menu Bar and you will see the Apple logo. Next to the logo is the OS X Utilities (in Chinese). Then after that is File (in Chinese). Click on that 2nd menu item left of the Apple logo which would be File. Select the 1st option from that which is Change Language (in Chinese).

If you did it right, you should see an animated screen to choose English (at the very top).
