Your device or software speaks your language—or it should. Language and localization settings control which language appears on your screen, how dates and numbers display, and which keyboard layout you use. You land here when you need to switch languages, fix text that's showing in the wrong characters, or set up your device to match where you live and what you speak.

The articles here answer questions like: How do I change my device's display language? Why is my keyboard typing in the wrong language? What's the difference between language and region settings? How do I add a new keyboard layout? These guides walk you through finding the right menu, making the change, and troubleshooting when something doesn't switch over the way you expected.
