How to Change the Language on Amazon Website

Amazon provides services that are accessible in many different countries across the globe, and as such, it can be accessed in different language options as well. This is required as different people worldwide speak different languages, and not everyone understands English even though it is the most spoken language in the world. Amazon being available in different languages means you can access the site or the app in your preferred language. In this guide, we will show you how you can change the language on Amazon.

How to Change the Language on Amazon

What Are The Languages Available on Amazon?

Amazon offers many different language options that users can use to access their services. However, the language options that are available for you to select from depending on your region. This is because Amazon has region-specific websites when you visit Amazon.com and each of these websites have their own set of local languages from which users can choose. For example, let’s say you reside in the US. The US version of the Amazon website only allows you to choose between English and Spanish. However, if you are from a country like India, you are allowed to select between Hindi and a few other local language options. This would be the same in other regions as Amazon would only make languages that are spoken in that region available to users in the region.
