How to Change Language on Amazon Apps & Websites

It can be frustrating to navigate the Amazon website using a language you do not understand. Especially when English is not your primary language, as most renowned online shopping websites use English as their default language. Depending on the region in which you reside, this can vary.

There are a number of variants available on the Amazon website that are available in multiple languages, making it accessible to people of different backgrounds. Fortunately, you can change your language settings through the Amazon application or desktop site. This tutorial provides a comprehensive explanation of how to change the language settings on Amazon.

How Many Languages Available On Amazon?

Across the globe, Amazon offers a variety of language options for its multi-national customers. It will depend on your location as to which language options will be available to you regardless of where you reside. The reason for this is that Amazon provides regionally specific websites. Several of these websites provide users with the opportunity to select a regional language setting.

If you live in the United States, Amazon’s website will not allow you to choose American English or Spanish. However, this is not the case for people living in other regions, such as India. It is possible for an Indian to choose Hindi in addition to any other language spoken in the region which is used in that region. The same applies to all regions.

It is important to remember that each Amazon website has its own language set. The first thing you need to do before you make any changes to the language of Amazon is to determine which website you are on.

How to Change Language on Amazon (Desktop Version)

If you wish to change the default language settings on Amazon, you can do so by using the desktop website. Here are the steps to follow:

• To get started, visit the homepage. Click on the Flag icon in the Search Bar (at the top of the page). There is an icon located right next to the Search Bar (on the left). In most cases, the flag icon indicates the default language option for a website. 

For instance, the flag icon could appear to be an American flag, indicating that American English can be set as the default language on the website. It is possible, however, that the flag is not visible in certain locations based on the web version.  In its place, you will find a globe symbol in the exact location where the flag would normally be displayed. In the top right-hand corner of this globe symbol, you will see a two-letter code indicating the language in which you are browsing.

• Using your mouse, move your cursor over the Globe or Flag icon and click to display a list of languages that are available on the website. Depending on where you are browsing from, you may be able to choose from a variety of languages.
• There is a menu for setting the language to your left, allowing you to select the language in which you would like to browse, shop, and communicate. By clicking on the language you prefer, you will be able to select it. By clicking the yellow button, you can save your language settings.
• Return to the previous language setting by repeating the process and selecting English. It is important to note that if the globe or flag icon is not displayed on the right side of the search bar, this indicates that it is only available in one language. As an example, Amazon Italy is only available in the Italian language.

Changing the region will allow you to select a language that is not listed among the available languages. In the drop-down menu, click on Change the country or region. Dropdown menus should provide a variety of options for selecting countries.

Click on the website of the country or region of your choice. Go to the website by clicking on the link. In a new window, Amazon will display the available languages in the area you have selected.

How to Change Language on Amazon Apps?

There is no difference between the Language changing feature available on the Amazon mobile applications for Android and iOS devices. Here are the steps:

• Navigate to the Options feature by pressing the three-line menu on the Amazon app for your mobile device.
• Select Settings from the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page. Select the country and language of your choice.
• Select your preferred language from the list of available languages by clicking language. After selecting a language, the Amazon application will display in that language.
• By reversing the entire procedure and selecting the language that you desire, you can return to the language you used previously (English).
