Step by step

1. 

   Tap Languages and input

   Open Settings, tap Additional settings, then Languages and input, below Date and time.

   Done

2. 

   Tap Languages

   The first row shows the current language. Ours said English (United Kingdom).

   Done

3. 

   Search the list

   The list is long. Tap the search bar at the top and type the name of your language.

   Done

4. 

   Tap your language

   Each language is shown in its own words, such as Deutsch or Melayu. The current one is blue with a tick; ours was English (United Kingdom). Tap the one you want.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Want to change the region too? Region is a separate row just below Languages and input. Ours said Germany. Xiaomi's HyperOS 3 guide says to pick it from the region list. Source: Generic User Guide for HyperOS 3.0

  

• Called Languages & input in the manual? Xiaomi's guide writes Languages & input. On our phone the row says Languages and input. Source: Generic User Guide for HyperOS 3.0

If this does not work

• Phone is in a language you can't read? Settings, Additional settings, Languages and input, Languages is the route. The first row on that page shows the current language, and the list names each language in its own words.
• Keyboard still types in the old language? The keyboard is set separately, under Input methods on the same page: Current keyboard (Gboard on ours) and Manage keyboards. See also keyboard sounds.

About this guide

The language setting is not on the main Settings page. It sits under Additional settings.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. Ours was set to English (United Kingdom). We opened the list and went back without choosing.

In short: Settings, Additional settings, Languages and input, Languages, tap a language.
