Unlock the Secret: How to Instantly Switch Taobao from Chinese to English
Hello,
This is Refundy, your essential service for maximizing margins in your Taobao dropshipping business. 💚
If you have used the Taobao app for your business operations, you may have experienced inconvenience due to the app being available only in Chinese.
While the desktop version can be easily translated into English using Chrome's translation feature, the mobile app does not offer a built-in translation function.
This often forces users to take screenshots and manually translate the content — a tedious process.
Fortunately, there is an effective method to switch the Taobao mobile app to an English interface, without relying on translation tools.
(Of course, a fully localized version would be ideal, but navigating in English is still significantly easier than in Chinese. 😆)
In this post, we will guide you step-by-step on how to set the Taobao app to English.
How to Change the Language Setting on the Taobao App
1. Launch the Taobao App and Navigate to "My Page"
Start by launching the Taobao mobile app.
Tap on "My Page" located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
2. Access the Settings Menu (Gear Icon)
On the "My Page" screen, tap the gear icon (⚙️) at the top right to open the Settings menu.
3. Select "Country/Region and Language"
Within the Settings menu, locate and tap the option labeled "Country/Region and Language."
4. Change the Country Setting to "Singapore"
No matter what your current country setting is, you will need to change it to "Singapore." (For reference, in this example, the default setting was Korea.)
"Singapore" is generally positioned around the fifth entry from the top in the country list.
5. Set the Language to English
After changing the country setting, proceed to the Language option.
You will see two available languages: Chinese and English.
Select English to complete the setup.
🎉 Congratulations! Your Taobao app is now set to English!
You can now browse and shop much more conveniently, significantly reducing the difficulties previously caused by the language barrier.
