How to Change Language on Sony Xperia R1

Sony Xperia R1

Often, app developers optimize their software for only one language, namely their own. They support the others with various tools - via Google translator, with spaces in the words, with loss of meaning. Such an application can usually only be used in the native language of the developer. The problem is easy to fix - you have to change the language on the Sony Xperia R1 via the settings menu.

Attention when changing the language on your Sony Xperia R1

Changing the language on Android can cause a variety of inconveniences:

  1. Once you have changed the language, all the labels are replaced by new ones with which you may not be familiar. This makes it difficult to switch back to the phone's native language.
  2. All applications will also be translated into the new language.
  3. System errors may occur due to the change in memory language.

While the last point is rather unlikely - modern mobile phones have well-optimised operating systems - the first two points occur all the time. It is therefore strongly recommended not only to follow all the steps in the instructions, but also to roughly memorise them and look up the translations of all menu items in advance: Settings, System, etc.

Instructions for changing the language on the Sony Xperia R1

  1. Open the "Settings" and search for "System". This is usually at the bottom.

  2. Under "System", find the item "Language and Inputs".
  3. Under "Language and Inputs" you will find the item "Languages".
  4. In the screenshot, the red rectangle highlights the languages that are already pre-installed on the device. Probably only the native language of the device is available to you, but if the language you want is already there, simply drag and drop it to the top. After a few seconds of dragging, the entire system language will be changed.
  5. If the desired language is not available, you must enter the sub-item "Add language".
  6. This menu shows all the languages that can be installed on the unit. They are usually listed in alphabetical order, with the first ten containing the most common languages (Russian, British and American English, Spanish and so on).
  7. Click on the desired language (in this case English) and, if available for selection, choose its variant (in this case American).
  8. After the selection, the chosen function is displayed under "Languages". Now all you have to do is drag it over the main language and the system will automatically change the entire language.

FAQ

How often can I change the language of the machine?

- As often as you want. But the more language packages there are, the greater the load on the unit's memory.

Is it safe to change the language?

- In 99.9 % of cases yes, in the remaining 0.01 % an app may crash and no longer open. But the system itself will work perfectly.

Do I have to change the region as well as the language?

- It depends on the purpose for which you have changed the language. For example, if you have moved to another country and change the language for that reason, you should also change the region. If you only want your device to be displayed in a different language, you do not need to change the region.
