 * All of the admin details of my two sites have suddenly changed to a foreign language,
   in a script that I don’t recognise. It is still allowing me to log in, and the
   pages themselves remain in English – albeit now set right to left – but it’s 
   impossible for me to do anything with the site.
    I have a suspicion that someone
   has hacked in a changed the details, and no idea how to resolve this. Does anyone
   know?

 * Can you go to general settings and scroll down to site language. It will be the
   8th item. Once you get it fixed you need to upgrade to 4.8
 * Sucuri showed no evidence of a hack.

 * Thanks K. Unfortunately no luck with that. I can see the icon for general settings,
   but once I click on that I get three options all in Arabic, and clicking on all
   of them just reveals more screens full of Arabic.
    There’s also a box top right
   with some script and 4.8. I don’t know if that’s a download option. All very 
   confusing.
