How to Set the Language Per App on Android
By default, your system-wide language dictates the language used across apps on Android. But if you want to use a different language inside a specific app, you can do so by following these steps:
Open the Settings app. Scroll down and select System. Tap Languages & input and select App Languages on the next page. Select the app you wish to change the used language. You can use the search icon in the top right for convenience. Under the app’s App Language page, select your language of choice. Android 13 will automatically save your changes.
You’ll notice that not many of your installed apps appear under the App Languages page. The reason is that since the feature is still new on Android, few developers have implemented it in their apps. Even some of Google’s core apps, like Google Photos and Gmail, were still to be supported at the time of writing.
Until more developers incorporate the feature, you don’t have any option but to dig into an app’s settings page and find if it supports multiple languages.
Different apps have the option in different places, so you should search online for specific steps to change the language if multiple are supported. However, you don’t have to go through all that trouble when you can use Google Translate in any Android app.
If you have an iPhone, you can also change the language of individual apps on iOS via the Settings app.
Use Different Languages Per App on Your Android Phone
Setting language preferences per app has always been limited on Android because it was always left to app developers. With Android 13, Google is making it easier for developers and users to customize their language preferences. It’s a win for multilingual users, as you can now use Chinese in Chrome and Spanish in Google Maps if you like.
