You leave the editor by clicking Ok or pressing Alt-0.

The language is set the top of the annotation window: “ALL” is for neutral commentary which will always appear, “Eng” is English, “Deu” German, “Fra” French, “Esp” Spanish”, “Ita” Italian, “Ned” Dutch. There are a few more languages to the right (click the arrow button to view them). Hit the Tab key to toggle languages.
