Its possible the language is locked into it. As far as I can tell its not a true "smart phone" - in that you couldn't install another operating system into it - which also indicates it was released with the language hardcoded. No amount of resetting will make it change its language, its part of the phone itself.

Isn't Nokia from Finland? O_o The Transformers movie even parodied that fact by saying Nokia knew the way of the samurai. =P
Have you tried their support discussions forums? I'm sure you're not the first one to ask.

I cannot answer what I do not know. Did you get any responses from asking these questions in any Nokia or Mobile Phone forums?
