Change language on channel name with Xfinity basic cable

Asking for a friend: she has the "basic" Xfinity cable, just the local stations with a couple of others. Has the old DTA Remote (see attachment). Standard definition TV. When she changes channels, the channel description flashes for a few seconds and the displayed language is Spanish, not the desire language, English. On the remote, there is a language button but it has no effect , period. Press it and nothing happens. How does she change the language from Spanish to English on the channel description? The spoken language on the channels is English. Thanks.

... there is a language button but it has no effect ...

Note that the manual for that remote ( https://www.xfinity.com/support/pdfs/remotes/digital_adapter_remote.pdf ) says this about the LANG button:

Use LANG to switch between English and Spanish audio options on the DTA receiver
