An advice, make Full Backup of current ROM/Firmware before doing anything with device you are willing/thinking to try.
I'm using Huawei Ascend y511. so can't do that, but i believe "CN" stands for Chinese and "EN" sure for English. regarding recovery language, for me i get two different modes, recovery and factory setting i believe. Stock recovery for my mobile is in English and the other is Chinese. But, in case you get chinese recovery, i think it can be replaced with "Custom Recovery (English)".
Once Stock/Custom ROM is installed/flashed, you sure can change language option to English or Chinese as mentioned about ROM languages (Not for recovery).
Point is that; once ROM is installed/flashed & you are satisfied with it and you also got backup of current Kitkat ROM and you find recovery is in CN. You can restore ROM to Kitkat or in case you don't care about warranty and can flash/install Custom recovery(English language) without going into CN recovery. then i think it shouldn't be a problem.

this rom work fine with my device

Mi Max 3 MIUI ROMs without firmware [fw-less]

Mi Max 3 MIUI ROMs without firmware​​
We all know that Xiaomi added Anti roll-back to latest Stable/Beta ROMs (8.8.17 China Beta | 9.6.12.0 China stable) for (Mi Max 3). Which means if you flashed an older fw/rom with a different (lower) anti version of your current one your device will be bricked!
Here I'll provide MIUI ROMs fully stock but without "firmware-update", to prevent any potential bricking while switching between Miui Based ROMs
This process is automated and provided as a part of Xiaomi Firmware Updater Project.
Firmware-less ROMs​Androidfilehost:
Stable/Developer Firmware-less ROMs
Notes:
After flashing any of the builds above you can't go and flash FULL Miui ROMs to downgrade, just stick to my modded versions if you want to use older MIUI builds
No matter which Anti you have, you can flash any of those ROMs with TWRP
These ROMs doesn't affect your phone bootloader in any way, so you can roll back to your old ROM after Flashing any of the above builds
One more time, those ROMs won't remove or change your anti.
Again, if your phone is anti 4, you can't just simply go and flash FULL older ROM, even after flashing Modded builds, so stick with my builds
Anti 4 users can flash any of those builds just fine
[*]All the notes Above applies for My Modded builds only, do NOT go and share it as facts for all Miui ROMs

Hello I wanna ask,
Now that V9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD Global was released, I checked and it doesnt have anti-rollback (anti-1)
The problem is that some people are on anti rollback enabled (anti 4) roms and they want to get the global rom.
Is it possible for you to remove the firmware files from 9.6.6.0 and then make a version that allows anti-rollback people to downgrade / change their china rom to it?
Thanks and have a great day!

Thank you for your answer,
1. wont wiping vendor and system brick the phone (MIUI isnt capable of wiping system partition from twrp)?
2. does that mean that when using your modified rom, xiaomi will still send us ota breaking our phones? if so what can we do to prevent this?
3. yes this is the link! I really hope you create a modified version fo this allowing people to finally use a global rom even on anti-rollback
4. when 9.6.8.0 (Anti-rollback) global is released, do we need to update to it using your modified version or can we fastboot clean flash it as it has anti-4 ? I wanna make sue I dont break my device as its not fixable...

Actually, its the global release. Not for India only. I found its firmware in xiaomifirmwareupdater on github and its status is global Stable. So, that update Will be available for all user's used MIUI global stable. So don't worry.

ITs buggy and not working.
1. Tried via OTA and fails and fails (verificiation error).
2. Tried via official mi.com forum link and going into bootloop.

What is "here"? (you can find out everything "here" or read "here")
There is no link
Or did you mean you switched to MIUI11 for stability
from what I have researched since my previous post ...Android 11 is in the form of AOSP ported builds (lot of activity on Telegram) and gsi's.
