Let me be more direct:
The camera does not obey my command to change the language, after I changed the date/time battery.

Strange.... Is your camera up to date firmware wise?

I'd tell you what the most recent version is.... only I don't actually know which model you have! I don't operate on "KISS(s)", I operate on xxxD.

300D. Made in Japan.

Firmware Ver. 1.1.1

I haven't tested all the menu. At least "image quality" and "format" are working.

When I change the language to English (I also tried Spanish), the CF card recording light comes on. But the change is not saved.

Sounds like you have the hacked firmware from 10D. If you have ISO 3200/ISO H, then it is the hacked firmware. One known issue with that firmware was about changing language.

"The camera freezes on attempt to switch the user interface language. To change the user interface language use the original firmware."

If that is the case you will need to install the real 300D firmware and then change language. You may after that install the modified firmware from 10D again if you would like that.
