FWIW Didi has English option and it seems to be very good with auto fill even in english locations. Another nice feature is it accepts US CC and when you use Express cars it is similar to Uber in that it just bills to the CC and no cash, Alipay or WeChatPay required.
I find the offline Google translator as well as the Baidu translator useful as well
