Chinese checkered

When I first downloaded this app, I really loved it. It was simple and straightforward, giving only the information that was really required. I also loved the crossword wildcard feature. But for some reason, the English "button" labels suddenly appeared as Chinese labels recently. Reloading the app didn't help. Please fix this bug!
