How to Change Language Preference on Amazon on PC or Mobile

During the past few years, we have seen a plethora of e-commerce websites dealing in a variety of products around the globe for online shopping. When it comes to an e-commerce website that can provide easy-to-use navigation with after-sales support, the only name that comes to mind is Amazon. The company specializes in e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence. As a result, Amazon is so dominant that it captures around 38% of the market share.

As the most popular online retailer in America, the e-commerce website has expanded itself by doing a variety of things, but language support is by far the most important. To make life easier for users around the world, Amazon currently supports 75 different languages. However, while it is great to know that Amazon has such language support, the problem is that people don’t know how to change the language there. So, today we will discuss how to change the language on Amazon.

How to Change Language on Amazon on PC or Mobile

To make Amazon services accessible and easy to use for every user, Amazon services are available on smartphones as well as desktops. The good thing is that Amazon has uniform language support across all these platforms.

Additionally, you can change the Amazon Prime closed caption language. Meanwhile, you have a variety of language options on Amazon. So, let’s check each of them and try something completely different.
