Twitter is a social networking service that allows users to post 140-character messages called "tweets." One of the most popular uses for Twitter is as an information-sharing channel. This has led many people to use Twitter as their primary method of communication with audiences. The question is, how can you change the language on Twitter?
We have tested this on a computer, but the steps should be similar for mobile devices.
Log-in to your account or create a new one. Then, click on your username in the upper-right corner and go to "Settings." On the next page, select "Language" from the menu.
In the window that pops up, you will find a list of all languages Twitter supports. Each language has a checkbox next to it which you can keep or clear. Highlight the languages you wish to add and hit "Save Settings" once you are done.
The next time you log in, Twitter will ask if you would like to add the language depending on the changes you made. This is because all languages you selected aren't already your main one, so it needs to add them before searching for tweets in that language. Feel free to seek guidance from Twitter customer support if a problem emerges in the process.
Twitter has been one of the top news-sharing sites since its inception. With thousands of tweets being sent within minutes from all around the world, it is an excellent source for real-time news. As such, Twitter is no stranger to political, social and business upheavals in any region of the world. It has brought a significant number of tweets in different languages, so language change on Twitter is very substantial.
As pointed out in the steps above, we have tested it on a computer thus far. That said, the language change should be similar across all internet browsers and mobile devices. However, since this is an experimental feature, for now, there might still be some bugs that will need to be worked out before mainstream adoption.
You can choose from as many languages on Twitter as you like; however, you only have the option of using one at a time. As such, even though you may add all supported languages for your convenience, when searching and tweeting on Twitter, it will only be in one language at a time.
Just as you can change your language on Twitter, you can revert to the original one. This doesn't apply to all languages, though. For now, there is no easy way of reverting; however, we will update this article once we find a workaround.
Reach out to customer support when unable to make the language adjustments.
You don't have the option of choosing a specific language on Twitter. At the moment, it will automatically use the primary language in your profile details (which you can edit at any time) and add all other languages that are not your default ones.
As far as we can tell, no issues or conflicts arise from using this feature. Everything else seems to work like usual, and you will be able to use all other features without any problems.
