Garmin Edge 1040 shows un in Garmin connect (Android) with Chinese lettering- every other device is in english

super odd... this is after the last beta update (16 nov 2024)

Mine was in English but this few days my Edge 1040 start to lockup after long Auto sleep after upgrade to software 25.25. I did a reset and re add my Edge 1040 back to my Garmin connect and now my Edge 1040 Landing page is in Chinese but my Fenix6x is in English.

I am having the same issue. My Edge 1040 is showing up in Garmin Connect (iPhone iOS 18.3) in Chinese. My other devices, Fenix 8 and Forerunner 965, are showing up in English. The "work around" posted here in the thread to change the language for the Connect app in iOS setting does not work for me! However, I found another "workaround" that does work:

iOS settings > Language and Region > under preferred languages add a language that is *NOT* supported by the Garmin device. In my case I added Afrikaans. Order the languages so that Afrikaans is the first preferred language, English is second (this order is IMPORTANT). Dont worry, iPhone will not change to display Afrikaans menu - it will still show English and your menus and settings etc will be in English.

Next, go to Garmin Connect and sync the Edge 1040 device. When you enter the Device (for settings) in Connect, you will see the device is now showing up in English...!

If you change the order of the preferred languages or remove Afrikaans, the Edge will revert back to Chinese display...!!!

The device showing up in Connect as Chinese is not limited to the Edge. It seems to be the FIRST device in Garmin Connect. Since my devices are in order of alphabetical order: Edge 1040, Fenix 8, Forerunner 965 --> the Edge is the first device in the list and thus affected by the Chinese bug...

WTF Garmin, fix your damn bug!!! It has been two or three months now!!!
