Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) on changing the language settings on your Google account:
1. Q: What if my desired language isn’t on the list?
A: While Google offers a vast selection of languages, there’s always a chance yours might not be included. If that’s the case, you can still access Google in that language by changing your device’s system language settings. This will affect all apps and websites, not just Google.
2. Q: Will changing my Google language setting affect the language I see on other websites?
A: No, changing your Google language setting only affects Google products and services. Other websites will continue to display in the language they’re programmed for. You might find a language option within the website itself, though.
3. Q: I changed my language, but some parts of Google are still in English (or my previous language).
A: It sometimes takes a little time for all Google products to update to your new language setting. Try restarting your device or browser. If the issue persists, you can try signing out of your Google account and signing back in.
4. Q: Can I change the language for Google Assistant?
A: Yes! You can change the language for Google Assistant within the Google Assistant app settings. The steps might vary slightly depending on your device, but it’s usually under “Preferences” or “Settings” within the app.
