This sounds funny, because there is only one English language. Of course, there are some dialects (方言) of it, but “English” is a language and there’s only one language by that name!

Also, these two sentences seem to be saying almost the same thing. The second sentence is clearer that it means an English menu, not an English newspaper or something else!

So let’s get rid of the first sentence, and just correct the grammar in the second one:

O We have an English menu.
