With the Google Chrome browser, you can use the language of your choice. Plus, you can add more languages and set Chrome to translate them or ask you if you want them translated.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, we\u2019ll show you how to change the language on Google Chrome on your desktop and mobile device.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

Change the Google Chrome Language on Your Desktop\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Google Chrome on your desktop, you can select the order for your languages and adjust settings for translations and spell check.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open Chrome, select the three dots<\/span> on the top right, and choose Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>
  2. On the left, pick Languages<\/span>. On the right, you\u2019ll see your list of languages in the order of your preference. This puts your preferred language at the top.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
    1. To add a new language, select Add Languages<\/span>.\n<\/li>
    2. When the pop-up box opens, use the Search<\/span> or scroll to find the language(s) you want to add. \n<\/li>
    3. Mark the checkbox next to each language you want to include and select the Add<\/span> button.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

      Rearrange or Remove a Language\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Chrome checks the languages in the order you have them in the list. If you want to move one, select the three dots<\/span> to the right of the language and pick Move up<\/span> or Move down <\/span>in the drop-down menu. If the language is at the bottom of the list, you also have a Move to the top<\/span> option.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To delete a language from your list, select the three dots and pick Remove<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n

      Translations and Spell Check\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      You\u2019ll see additional options in the language settings in Chrome on your desktop for translations and spell check.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To have Chrome offer a web page translation<\/a> for a language in your list or (on Windows) display Chrome in that language, select the three dots<\/span>. Then check one or both boxes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      To have Chrome offer a translation for a language not in your list, turn on the toggle for Offer to translate pages that aren\u2019t in a language you read<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can then choose from a Basic or Enhanced Spell Check. You\u2019ll notice the Enhanced option uses the same spell check used in Google Search.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      In the Chrome web browser on Windows, you have a few extra spell check options for your languages. You can turn on the toggles for those languages you want to use spell check for and customize your spell check by adding certain words.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Change the Google Chrome Language on Your Mobile Device\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You can easily add, remove, and rearrange languages in the Chrome browser on your mobile device. However, the mobile app doesn\u2019t offer the spell check features that the desktop version does.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Open Chrome on Android or iPhone and tap your profile<\/span> icon in the top-right corner.\n<\/li>
      2. Select Languages<\/span>. Like on your desktop, you\u2019ll see the languages in your preferred order.\n<\/li>
      3. To add a new language, tap Add Language<\/span>.\n<\/li>
      4. Use the Search<\/span> or browse through the list, then select the language you want to add.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n

        On Android\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        When you return to the main Languages settings, you can change your default language by selecting the current language at the top. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
