Export Lang=en_us

Xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update

Enter the command in the terminal:

Export LANG=ZH_CN

Close the terminal and re-start. The next time you enter the system, you will be prompted to change the converted directory back to Chinese. Select no longer prompted, and cancel the modification. The English language of the home directory is finished.
