What if you want to change the language on your Facebook profile, and you’re not sure how to do this? Are you also wondering whether the process is simple and straightforward? In this guide, we’ll give you all the answers to your questions.

Here, you’ll find detailed instructions on how to change your language and region, as well as how to manage your translation settings.

How to Change the Default Language on Facebook on Windows, Mac, or Chromebook

Upon creating your Facebook account, your profile will have the same default language as the one your device has. However, if you want to change your language and region settings, you can only do so manually. Take note that changing the region settings is only possible on your computer as you won’t see that option on your phone. If you want to use Facebook in a different language, here’s how to do this:

1. Open Facebook on a web browser and click the down arrow next in the upper right-hand corner.
   
2. Click on Settings & Privacy. Then, tap on Settings again.
   
3. Click on Language & Region.
   
4. Click Edit next to the language preference you’d like to update.
   

Facebook allows you to change more than just your language. Should you want your posts translated into another language and update the automatic translation settings, you can also do this while you’re in your profile’s settings.

How to Change Facebook Language on an iPhone

If you have an iOS 12 or older iPhone model (all iPhones older than iPhone 6S), you can change your Facebook language in a few simple steps:

1. Open the Facebook app on your iPhone and tap on the three vertical lines in the lower right corner.
   
2. Click on Settings and Privacy. Then, tap on App Language.
   
3. The iPhone’s Settings will now open. Tap on Language.
   
4. Finally, click on Change to (language) to confirm your new language choice.
   

Those who already set a language for the Facebook app will be redirected to their phone settings to change the preferred language.

If you still don’t have a language selected, click on “Open Phone Settings” and follow a detailed step-by-step process.

How to Change Facebook Language on an Android Phone

1. Open the Facebook app.
   
2. Tap on your “Settings.”
   
3. Find the “Settings and Privacy” option and tap on “Language.”
   
4. Choose your new language.
   

Keep in mind that when you change your language on one device, you’re not changing it on all of them. If you want to have it activated on your computer or tablet, you’ll have to log in and make the changes there as well.
