Change your Roblox language in account settings on any device

You can change the language Roblox displays in through your account settings on the website or in the app. The process takes about one minute and applies across all your devices — desktop, mobile, and tablet. Your choice affects the menus, buttons, and interface text, though user-created games may still show in English or their creator's chosen language.

Roblox supports over 15 languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and others. The language you select in settings becomes your default, but you can change it back at any time.

Key Takeaways

  • Log into your Roblox account on the website or app, then go to Settings and select your preferred language from the Language dropdown menu.
  • Your language choice applies to the Roblox interface only — individual games created by other players may display in English regardless of your setting.
  • The change takes effect immediately and syncs across all devices where you use your account.
  • You can switch back to English or any other supported language at any time by returning to the same settings menu.

How to change language on the Roblox website

Start by going to the Roblox website and logging into your account. Once you are logged in, look for the gear icon or menu button in the top right corner of the page — this is usually next to your username or profile picture.

Click the gear icon and select Settings from the dropdown menu. On the Settings page, find the Language option, which is typically near the top of the menu on the left side. Click the dropdown next to Language and choose your preferred language from the list. Roblox will save your choice automatically, and the interface will switch to that language right away.

How to change language in the Roblox mobile app

Open the Roblox app on your phone or tablet and log in if you are not already. Tap the three horizontal lines (the menu icon) in the bottom right corner of the screen to open the navigation menu.

Scroll down and tap Settings. Look for the Language option and tap it to see the list of available languages. Select the language you want, and the app will update immediately. The change applies to both the iOS and Android versions of the app.

What happens to games and user content when you change language

Changing your language setting affects only the Roblox platform interface — the buttons, menus, and labels you see when navigating the site or app. Individual games created by other players may still display in English or whatever language the game creator chose, because each game is a separate project with its own text and settings.

Some popular games have been translated into multiple languages by their creators, so you may see those games in your chosen language. However, most games, especially smaller or newer ones, are only available in English. There is no way to force a game to display in a different language if the creator has not translated it.

Switching back to English or choosing a different language

You can change your language setting as many times as you want. Simply return to Settings, click or tap the Language dropdown, and select a different option. The change happens immediately and does not affect your account, friends list, or game progress in any way.

If you forget which language you selected and want to switch back to English, the process is the same — go to Settings, find Language, and choose English from the list. You do not need to restart the app or website for the change to take effect.

Troubleshooting language display issues

If the language does not change after you select it, try refreshing the page or closing and reopening the app. Sometimes the interface takes a moment to update, especially on slower connections. If you are on the website, clear your browser cache or try a different browser to rule out a caching issue.

If a specific language is not appearing in your dropdown menu, it may not be supported on your device or region. Roblox occasionally adds new languages, so check back later if the one you want is missing. You can also report language issues to Roblox support through the Help section of the Settings menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing my language affect other players' experience in games?

No. Your language setting is personal to your account and only changes what you see on the Roblox website and app. Other players will not know what language you have selected, and it does not change how you appear in games or chat.

Can I set different languages for different devices?

Your language setting syncs across all devices linked to your account, so changing it on your phone will also change it on your computer. If you want different languages on different devices, you would need to use separate Roblox accounts.

What if a game I play has text in a language I do not understand?

The game creator chose that language, and your account setting cannot override it. You can try using your browser's built-in translation tool or a separate translation app to read the text. Some game creators offer language options within the game itself — check the game's settings menu.

Will changing my language affect my Robux or game progress?

No. Your language choice is purely visual and does not touch your account balance, inventory, or any progress you have made in games. You can switch languages as often as you want without any risk to your account.
