How to Change Language on your Android Device
The tablet computer is one of the most useful and revolutionary inventions of today’s day and age. As almost every person knows, the tablet market is currently dominated by the Android OS – an operating system designed to cater to the needs of individuals all over the world and to be as diverse as possible. Since that is the case, tablets running on the Android OS can be programmed to display information in a wide variety of languages, with more languages continuously being added to the list.
The language that the average Android tablet displays information in, out-of-the-box, is the official language of the country or countries in which its targeted consumer base resides. However, this can sometimes pose a problem. For example, a person who knows only a few words of Japanese will definitely want to change the language of the Android tablet they have bought from Japan into English. While doing so is certainly possible, it can be quite challenging and confusing, especially when the Android tablet is in a language that the user cannot understand. The following are all of the steps a person must complete in order to change the language on a tablet running on the Android Operating System:
1. Navigate to the tablet’s Settings, an area of the OS that, on most tablets, is represented by a gear icon.
2. Locate and open the Language & Input settings for the device in the left-hand column where many different types of settings are listed. For those using a tablet in a language they cannot comprehend, the button for Language & Input settings can be easily found by looking for a tile with the letter ‘A’ and three tiny aligned dots beneath the alphabet.
3. Tap on the very first option in the list of Language & Input settings. Doing so takes the user to the Language settings, regardless of which Android tablet they are using.
4. Scroll through the list, and simply find and tap on the desired language.
5. The tablet will take a few brief moments to process the selection and then return the user to the previous screen, where they can easily notice that the tablet’s language has been changed to their desired language.
