They all have two languages on the day wheel. Manually set it back to the correct English day (make sure the hour hand is in the bottom half of the dial when you do) and it will stay on English.
Edit: if anyone doesn't know the recommended method for setting these:
- unscrew the crown (if it unscrews) and pull it all the way out (this may or may not stop the seconds hand depending on the movement)
- advance the hands so that they're both in the bottom half of the dial (this is so you don't damage the date change mechanism when you do the quick set in the next step)
- push the crown back in and pull it out again one stop to engage the date set.
- turn it one way to advance the day and the other way to advance the date. Set it to yesterday's date
- pull the crown all the way out (if the movement hacks, do it so the second hand is at 12) and turn it to advance the time so that it ticks over midnight and changes to today's date. This way you know that the time is set to AM/PM correctly and it won't tick over at midday
- push (or screw) that crown back in at the right moment and go about your day
- unscrew the crown (if it unscrews) and pull it all the way out (this may or may not stop the seconds hand depending on the movement)

My Seiko 5 has turned Arabic!
I used to have English week day names as default. Arabic week days would only appear briefly as the date changed around midnight. But after letting the charge run out and then re-winding I now have Arabic as a default and the English only appearing briefly.
