To change the language on Roblox, sign in, open Settings, choose Account Info, then look for the account’s language control in the Personal section. Select your preferred language and save the change where prompted. If one experience is still in another language, its translation settings may be separate from the language of Roblox’s menus.
Reviewed against Roblox’s account-language instructions on October 10, 2026. Menu names and supported languages can change.
Change your Roblox account language step by step
- Open the official Roblox website or an account-signed-in Roblox app.
- Open the account’s Settings menu. On a desktop browser, this is generally accessed from your account controls; on phones the location may be in the app’s more/settings menu.
- Choose Account Info.
- Look in the Personal area for the current Language setting.
- Open the language selector and choose a supported language you can read.
- Save or confirm the choice if Roblox asks, then reload the page or restart the app to check whether the interface has changed.
These steps address the account-language preference. They do not guarantee that every creator-made experience includes complete translations. If you accidentally select a language you cannot read, use the same account-settings layout or return to the official help article for visual orientation.
Account language versus a game’s language
| Language setting | What it affects | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Roblox account language | Eligible Roblox interface labels and account-facing text | Settings > Account Info |
| Game or experience language | Localized text within a particular experience when supported | The experience’s own settings or game-language controls |
| Console system language | May influence the Roblox app’s displayed language on console | Console operating-system settings |
Roblox also provides account settings for automatic translations. Its guidance distinguishes translation preferences for experiences from account-wide language. If menus appear in one language but chat or game text remains in another, first work out which of these layers the text belongs to.
Changing the language on Roblox mobile
iPhone or iPad
Sign into the Roblox app, open account settings and locate Account Info. Change the selected language from the account’s Personal settings. If the app remains unchanged, close and reopen it before reinstalling anything. Not every feature is available in every language, and iOS language controls are not always a substitute for Roblox’s own preference.
Android phones and tablets
Use the same account-settings path. If one screen remains untranslated, confirm your account choice was saved and reopen the app. Check the device’s app-language settings only if you are deliberately trying to change the phone’s language behavior as well. Avoid changing the whole device language merely to fix one Roblox experience.
Changing Roblox language on Xbox
Roblox’s Xbox language help directs users to the Xbox system’s language settings, followed by a restart of the Roblox app when needed. The exact screens can depend on console software. Do not expect a game developer’s translation choices to be controlled solely by the console menu.
Why Roblox still appears in the wrong language
The experience has limited translations
Creators may not have translated all interface elements, descriptions or dialogue. A game can display its original language even when your account is set to something else. Look for a supported in-game selector, but do not assume one exists.
Automatic translation or game-language preferences are separate
Review the relevant experience language controls and Roblox’s published automatic translation settings. A preference for translated experience text is different from changing your account’s main interface.
The app has not refreshed yet
Save your choice and reopen Roblox. If you use the same account on several devices, compare the account-language value on the Roblox website before trying device-specific fixes.
A controlled account has restrictions
Some settings can be influenced by age-appropriate account management or parental controls. For broader account supervision, see our Roblox parental controls guide.
What language should you choose?
Choose a language you understand well enough to recognize account-security prompts, purchases and privacy settings. Changing interface language is not a reliable way to unlock region-specific experiences or bypass account permissions. Likewise, a translated chat message may not preserve every nuance of a player’s original wording.
FAQ
Can I change Roblox to English?
Yes, if English is offered in your account’s language selector. Choose it in Account Info and refresh Roblox.
Why do game menus stay in another language?
Many elements are created and translated by the experience’s developer. Check the game’s own settings and automatic translation options.
Do I have to change my phone’s language?
Usually no. Start with Roblox account language. A console is a special case where official Xbox guidance points to system settings.
Will changing language affect Robux or owned items?
A display-language preference is not the same as buying, selling or transferring items. Avoid third-party services that claim a language change unlocks paid content.
