Hi Neal,
I got the same message when I upgraded an iPod Touch, but not when I upgraded my iPhone. Regardless the iPod Touch rebooted and came up fine. That message in another language is actually normal. Did you upgrade your wife’s 5C from iOS 7 to 8? Normally the “Slide to Setup” message only shows up with a major update, when I updated my iPhone 5S from 8.1 to 8.1.1 I received no message after the update, it just rebooted to the unlock screen, I entered my passcode and that was that. If you do a major update that “Slide to Unlock” message is displayed/read in all sorts of languages and if you keep touching the screen you’ll eventually get it in English.

I was updating my wife’s iPhone 5C to 8.1.1. I updated my phone not long ago. I backed up her phone, took everything out of the app switcher, and rebooted the phone. The update went flawlessly until I got to the very end. I was sitting there thinking how easy they had made this, when all of a sudden I heard the following message. Can no longer connect to this iPhone. Yikes! What to do now. Well, I believe the phone was still booting because soon after that, I heard the vibration and VoiceOver began speaking. My wife doesn’t use VoiceOver, but I turn it on when I am working on her phone. So, well done, I thought, that was just a minor glitch. The iPhone began to speak. Problem is, it was speaking in Japanese, or some other similar sounding language I couldn’t understand. Double Yikes! What to do now? I suppose I could go figure out how to get to language change on my phone and do the same steps on her phone. Interestingly, the time, battery status, WiFi status was all in English but the message I had to deal with was in that other language. I was just about to put plan B into operation, when, out of the blue, the phone began to speak in English. So, all is well. I bring this up in the hopes that it won’t happen to someone else, but in case it does, perhaps waiting for a while will work the same as it did for me. Perhaps I should learn Japanese?
