This wikiHow teaches you how to change the default written language on your iPhone. Your iPhone's language will not always determine the language used in non-Apple apps or on websites, though it should translate most content automatically. Keep in mind that if your iPhone is stuck in a language that reads from right to left, all horizontal screen options will be reversed.
EditSteps
- Open your iPhone's Settings . Tap the Settings app icon, which resembles a grey box with gears on it.
- Scroll down and tap General. This option is near a quarter of the way down the "Settings" page, and has a pale grey gear icon to the left of it.
- Scroll down and tap . From the bottom of the screen, it's the seventh option up. Common non-English iterations of this option include the following:[1]
- Chinese - Tap 語言和地區
- Spanish - Tap Idioma y región
- Hindi - Tap भाषा और क्षेत्र
- Arabic - Tap اللغة والمنطقة
- Russian - Tap язык и регион
- Tap . It's the top option on this page. Doing so opens a language selection menu.
- Select a language. Scroll until you find the language that you want to use, then tap it to select it. A blue checkmark (✓) will appear next to the selected language.
- Tap . It's in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Tap when prompted. This blue-text option is at the bottom of the screen. Tapping it will cause your iPhone's screen to go black as it changes the default language.
- Wait for the language to finish changing. Once the language has been changed to your preferred one, you'll be back at the "Language & Region" screen.
EditTips
- If your phone is stuck in a language that you can identify but can't understand and you can't find the Language & Region option, try typing "language & region" into Google Translate and setting the other side of the translator to the language in question.
EditWarnings
- Some languages, such as Arabic, use right-to-left writing instead of left-to-right. If your phone is in a right-to-left language, all horizontal screen options will be reversed (e.g., top-left-corner options will be in the top-right corner, etc.).
