How to Change the iPhone Language Settings
While you initially set the language during the iPhone setup process, there is no need to reset the iPhone to change the language. Once you choose a new language, your iOS device will load in the new language settings and you’ll be using the new language in seconds.
How to Change Language for Siri
You may find that Siri doesn’t change over when you change the language for your iPhone. Siri also supports several languages, and for some languages, it can also produce some popular accents. Changing Siri’s language is even easier than switching languages for your iPhone.
How to Switch Languages for the iPhone Keyboard
The iPhone’s keyboard should switch over automatically, but if it doesn’t, you can add the new language to the choice of keyboards. You can also switch back and forth between two languages for the keyboard. If you want to remove any of the available keyboards, tap Edit at the top of this screen and then tap the Delete button next to the keyboard. The Delete button appears as a red minus sign. After deleting the keyboard, tap Done.
What Happens When You Change an iPhone’s Language
The entire process only takes a few minutes and, once completed, all text in menus will display in the new language and in apps that support the language. Changing the language setting will also switch the language for the iPhone’s keyboard but still allows you quick access to accent characters needed for various languages. However, you may need to change the language setting for Siri, too, as it may not automatically switch over to a new language. The iPhone supports over thirty languages and several dialects within several of those languages, so you aren’t stuck with just American English. You can also use UK English, Canadian English, or even Singapore English. Or you can choose between French or Canadian French, Spanish or Latin American Spanish, Portuguese or Brazil Portuguese, and the list goes on from there.
