Step by step
Open App languages
Open Settings, General management and tap App languages.
Choose the app
Only apps that support language selection are shown. We blurred our other apps and tapped Chrome, which uses System default.
Pick a language
Suggested languages are at the top; our list offers Deutsch (Deutschland), English (Germany) and Español. System default follows the phone.
Or search all languages
Below Suggested, All languages lists every language the app supports.
About this guide
You can run one app in German and keep the rest of the phone in English, or the other way round. Handy for practising a language, or for an app that translates badly. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.
The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8 use the same menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ.
Good to know
Some apps also have a language option in their own settings, which overrides this.
In short: Settings, General management, App languages, the app, a language.
