How To Change Amazon Language Back To English On Mobile
Examine the language and region settings of the impacted browser if other browsers display your Amazon in the language of your choice. If Amazon is in Spanish across all of your devices and browsers, the issue is probably with your account settings.
1. Change Amazon Default Language
Make sure Amazon’s language isn’t set to Spanish as your first course of action.
On PC, click the flag icon next to the search bar and select your preferred language from the drop-down list.
Alternatively, go to the Amazon Language Settings page, select your language of choice and click Save Changes.
On mobile, scroll to the bottom of the Amazon homepage or any product page and tap the globe icon.
Select your preferred language and click Save Changes.
Refresh the page and recheck the language if it doesn’t change. In addition, Amazon will email you to confirm the new language preferences.
To change your preferred language on the mobile app, tap the hamburger menu icon and go to Settings > Country & Language > Language, and select the language available in your region.
2. Change Country/region
Amazon currently offers support for 20 nations, each with unique language, price, and shipping options. If your preferred country/region on the website is set to Spain or another Spanish-speaking nation like Mexico, Amazon will show products and pages in Spanish.
To change Amazon’s country/region on your browser, click the flag icon next to the search bar and select Change country/region. In the event that the website is not in English, it is the link at the bottom of the drop-down card.
Click the drop-down button, select your preferred country, and click the Go to website button.
A new Amazon browser tab in your browser will open with the chosen country’s default language.
On the mobile app, tap the menu icon and go to Settings > Country & Language > Country/Region, and select a country in the Countries/Regions available in the English (or your preferred language) section.
3. Check VPN Setting
Using the visitor’s geographic IP location, many websites set the default on-page language. If you’re using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your smartphone or computer and have set the location of the VPN server to Spain or another Spanish-speaking nation, Amazon will probably display products in Spanish. Refresh the page after checking your VPN settings and choosing a non-Spanish region or server.
4. Check Websites’ Location And Language
Your VPN settings or Amazon account settings may not always be the issue. If you access Amazon from a third-party website, the language may be changed to Spanish or another language. Our investigation led us to the conclusion that many affected users encountered this problem when they used Google to access Amazon or when they clicked on an advertisement for an Amazon product on a different website.
There are two explanations for this language change:
- The location of the third-party website or search engine is set by default to Spain (or a Spanish-speaking nation).
- The Amazon marketplace website, where the product vendor is registered to sell, has Spanish set as its default language.
- The third-party website or search engine’s default language is Spanish.
The first two scenarios are largely out of your control, but you can try altering your preferred search engine’s default language. Watch out for websites that let you change your preferred language as well.
Check the search engine’s location settings to make sure its region isn’t set to a Spanish-speaking country if after clicking on products, Google redirects you to the Spanish-language version of Amazon. Here’s how to approach it.
1. On Google search’s results page, click on Settings below the search box and select Search settings.
2. Scroll to the Region Settings section, select Current Region or a non-Spanish country, and click Save when you’re done.
Quick Tip: Click the Show more drop-down button to reveal all countries.
For Microsoft Bing, click the hamburger menu icon, select Settings, and select Country/Region.
After choosing your preferred nation, nothing else is required. If you’re choosing the US as your preferred country, be sure to click United States – English, not “Spanish-speaking Americans.”

6. Check Your Browser’s Language Preferences
If your browser is set to support it and you are using one of the multilingual browsers (like Google Chrome), Amazon may display pages in Spanish. Remove Spanish from the preferred languages list in your browser’s settings (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) and see if that fixes the issue.
Remove the Spanish Language On Chrome
Go to Settings > Advanced > Language and check the languages on the preferences list. If you spot any variation of Spanish on the list, click the menu icon next to it, and select Remove.
Remove the Spanish Language On Microsoft Edge
Click the menu icon and go to Settings > Languages. If you find Spanish in the Preferred languages section, click the menu icon next to it and select Remove.
Make sure the only option on the list is English (or your preferred language). Check to see if the problem is resolved by reloading the Amazon pages.
7. Update Browser/app
The performance and customizations of websites may be hampered by an out-of-date or bug-ridden browser. Make sure your browser is current if Spanish always appears to be Amazon’s default language.
For Chrome, go to Settings > About Chrome and check if there’s an update available. To update Microsoft Edge, go to Settings > About Microsoft Edge and the browser will automatically update itself. To finish the update, you will be asked to restart your browser.
If you use Firefox, go to Preferences and follow the prompt in the Firefox Updates section. Users of mobile devices should update the Amazon app by going to the app store on their devices.
