What if you want to change the language on your Facebook profile and you’re not sure how to do it? Are you also wondering if the process is simple? In this guide, we will give you all the answers to your questions.
Here you will find detailed instructions on how to change your language and region and how to manage your translation settings.
How to change the default language on Facebook on Windows, Mac or Chromebook
When you create your Facebook account, your profile will have the same default language as your device. However, if you want to change the language and region settings, you can only do it manually. If you want to use Facebook in a different language, here’s how to do it:
- Open Facebook in a web browser and click on your “profile icon” in the upper right corner.
- Click on “Settings and privacy.”
- Select “Settings.”
- Click on “Language and Region” in the left navigation menu.
- Click on the “Edit” next to the language preference you want to update.
Facebook allows you to change more than just your language. If you want your posts to be translated into another language and update your automatic translation settings, you can do so from your profile settings.
How to change the Facebook language on an iPhone
If you have an iPhone model with iOS 12 or earlier (all iPhones before iPhone 6S), you can change the Facebook language in a few simple steps:
- Open your iPhone “Facebook” app and tap the “three vertical lines” in the lower right corner.
- Click on “Settings and privacy.” Then touch “Application language”.
- Now iPhone Settings will open. Tap on “Language.”
- Finally, click “Switch to (language)” to confirm your new language choice.
Those who have already set a language for the Facebook app will be redirected to their phone settings to change the preferred language.
If you haven’t selected a language yet, click “Open phone settings” and follow a detailed step-by-step process.
How to change Facebook language on Android phone
If you’re using Facebook to communicate with friends or family in a specific language and want to change it, here’s how to do it on your Android phone:
- Open the “facebook application“ and touch the “hamburger” icon in the top right p.
- Tap on “Settings and privacy.”
- Select “Settings”
- Tap on “Language and region.”
- Choose your language options and adjust them accordingly.
Remember that when you change the language on one device, you are not changing it on all of them. If you want to activate it on your computer or tablet, log in and make the changes there.

How do you change the language on Facebook to English?
Most Facebook users use the platform in English and it can be difficult to get used to it when they switch languages. If you are one of them, you will have to apply the same process of changing the language of your choice back to English. Remember that once you turn it on on your phone or tablet, you will still have to repeat the process on your computer and other devices.
Better understand your Facebook friends
Some users must change their language to use Facebook to its full potential. Others prefer it to be in English, while its automatic translation shows them what others are discussing. Either way, it’s a huge platform that allows you to optimize your language settings to suit your needs.
Now that you know how to change the language and automatic translation, you will communicate more successfully with other members and create new relationships. Are you using Facebook in another language? Do you like using social media apps in different languages?
