That is probably why your computer is running in Greek language. If that is the case, Audacity runs by default in Greek too.

Edit menu > Preferences.

As a general tip. most Windows programs have "Preferences" in the "Edit" menu.
9/10 questions are answered in the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

You didn't read it. It includes steps if you cannot understand the language Audacity is running in:

1 Choose the second menu from the left in the Audacity menus at top left of the screen (on Mac, click on the first menu from the left)
2 Choose the bottom item of that menu, which opens the Preferences
3 In the list on the left of Preferences, choose the fifth item from the top
4 On the right, open the drop-down box containing a list of the language choices
5 Select the language you want and press "ENTER" on your keyboard.
