Change of text from English to Vietnamese!

[Stellar]

Amazingly, I'm typing an email in English as you do ... and suddenly the text changed to Vietnamese!  

Not only that, my email just sent like that before I had even finished it and half of it is now in another language which the recipient will not understand and will be thinking what the hell is she up to now!   

So I tried to change it back to English but instead I got an English translation which of course was absolute nonsense!  And I wanted to copy that and send it again because I can't remember everything I wrote.  

I think it could be because my nails are fairly long and so must be hitting some key which is doing the damage - but what key and where?

And why can't I find where to change the text back to English?  

This btw is a Telstra Big Pond email.

Note:

Where they talk about the language settings page ... you might need to click on the keyboard button to get to the next bit where they talk about keyboard language change key override ...

Thanks for that Gort.  I think this was a one-off thing.  I just don't know what key I could have hit to do this?  I've gone over everything and there is nothing there to change the language from English.  I don't know whether it's Windows 10 or Telstra Big Pond because it was their email.  

One thing I'll have to do is cut my fingernails because they're obviously a bit too long for typing!
