Android - Is there a way to turn off translation in Google Play
Three methods available, depending from where are you accessing Google:
Google Play app usually uses the language defined on your device settings:
- Tap your device "home";
- Tap "settings";
- Locate "Language & keyboard" and tap;
- Under "Select language" you can define the language for your device that is also used by the Google Play App as to present you the information on your language.
Accessing from a browser: The Google Play Store sets the language by your IP address, you can update that definition by changing it at the footer (it will persist):
For all Google Products: From Gmail, you can access your account settings and set the language that you prefer for Google Products:
- Login to your Gmail account;
- On the top right corner, click "account";
- On the left vertical menu, click "language".
This also annoyed me. My language is Hungarian, a hard-to-translate language. For example Google translated the "loop-device" to Hungarian as "rotating-device", which is a different thing. I think it is a really bad idea. The app, which does not have the user's native language built-in and the user doesn't speak any language of that app, then that user will not be able to understand and use that app normally. Also 9 of 10 translations aren't understandable.
So after that beginning I solved my problem. I installed Xposed and that appinfo module. Than I changed the language setting in the appinfo for Google Play. Lastly I cleared the cache of Google Play. And voilà! All in English and I can understand everything!
