Thanks very much Linus, I'll have fun with that later, fortunately
I've got some sighted assistance this morning, so should be OK.

You must have accidentally changed the language. This setting is saved
on disk and us unfortunately persistent between Rockbox installs. I
have
some suggestions on how to fix this:

1) Change back to English in the language selection. Quite tricky if
you
don't have spoken menus.

2) Select english as your language. Key sequence:

Menu,Right,Right,Play,Left,Left,Play,Right,Right,Right,Right,Right,Pla
y

3) Reset the settings. From the dir browser, the key sequence would
be:

Menu,Right,Right,Play,Right,Right,Right,Play,Left,Play,Right,Right,Pla
y,Play

as the Wiki says, but there is one detail that is missing. Directly
after this, press:

Left,Play

This starts browsing for firmwares, to force a disk spinup, so the
settings are really saved. Shut off when the disk has spun down.

Oooops! The Wiki page was wrong. I have changed it now.

Remember, you still need to "safely eject" the archos in the system
tray
before unplugging it.
