I am using mi 5s in China with chinese rom. I can install play store and play games(because I want to play Boom Beach with my google account).

I am not sure what do you mean completely English.
I tried to change the language from Chinese to English, all the system applications and settings are changed to English.
There are some applications I installed myself still in Chinese name on screen. Maybe because I am using Chinese version.

Thanx again, yes this is waht i meant to ask. If i change language to english the fone is perfectly usable. I hope answer is yes. Because in my last chinese fone mylti language rom was very unstable thats why now if i buy chinese fone i want a stable rom with OTA updates.

Google play

Yes, I live in china and i bought it. I installed google play on it from the xiaomi app store. just search for the google installer and install it, then use vpn to connect to google and you're good to go. It's an amazing phone. i like it.

Where do you find this? I installed Google services from an .apk as I get no results in the Mi App Store, and that didn't work for me at all. Got access, logged in, but couldn't download apps at all...

you should find this software: 安装谷歌 (in english, it means google installer). install this one and then press the red button and you're good to go!

In the settings go to all apps....find gplay services and gplay store and give him all the permissions they want

But you can install miflash on your pc....then download the official global miui dev rom from miui official site and flash that to your phone with mi flash....and you have the google play officially
