Do I need to have my langauge settings set to english?

What country are you in? That would help in answering your question.

Hi there!

If you have Windows Phone 8.1 on your device, you can get the US version of Cortana by changing few settings:

1. Region - United States;
2. Reboot;
3. Language - English (US);
4. Reboot;
5. Enjoy.

Recently, Microsoft added support for 5 more regions: China and UK as a beta; India, Australia, Canada as alpha. These ones will be available on the next update for WP 8.1, aka GDR1, next few months. However you can use the Preview for Developers app to get early access to this update.
