Where to find the language setting in Roblox
Open Roblox and sign into your account. In the top right corner, click the gear icon (⚙️) to open Settings. From there, click the "Billing" tab on the left side menu. At the very top of that page, you will see a dropdown menu labeled "Language". Click it and select your preferred language from the list.
The language change takes effect when ready — you do not need to restart the app or refresh the page. If you are using Roblox on a mobile device (iOS or Android), the process is slightly different: tap the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) at the bottom right, then tap "Settings", then "Language", and select from the options shown.
Key Takeaways
- The language setting is in Settings > Billing > Language dropdown on desktop, or in the hamburger menu on mobile.
- Changing your language affects only your account and takes effect when ready without restarting.
- Roblox supports over 15 languages, though some games may not be fully translated by their creators.
- Your language choice does not affect which games you can play or who you can communicate with.
What languages Roblox offers
Roblox currently supports English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, and Filipino. The exact list can change, so if you do not see your language in the dropdown, check back periodically or contact Roblox Support to ask about future additions.
Keep in mind that while Roblox itself (the menus, buttons, and platform features) will display in your chosen language, individual games may not. Game creators build their own content, and many do not translate their games into every language. If you play a game that was created only in English, you will see English text in that game even if your account language is set to Spanish or Japanese.
How language settings affect your account and gameplay
Changing your language setting is purely a display preference — it does not change what games you can play, who you can chat with, or how other players see your account. Your username, profile, and in-game chat remain the same regardless of which language you select for the interface.
If you play with friends who use a different language setting, you will still see the same games, the same chat messages, and the same in-game content. The language setting only controls how Roblox labels its own buttons, menus, and system messages on your screen.
Changing language on different devices
If you play Roblox on multiple devices — a computer, phone, or tablet — you can set a different language on each one. Your account language preference is tied to your device, not your account itself, so you might have English on your laptop and Spanish on your phone. When you log in on a new device, it will default to the language setting of that device's operating system, but you can change it to whatever you prefer.
On Windows or Mac, use the Settings > Billing > Language method described above. On iPhone or iPad, use the hamburger menu. On Android phones and tablets, the process is the same as iOS. If you use the Roblox app on Xbox, the language follows your Xbox console settings, but you can also adjust it within the Roblox app itself by navigating to Settings.
What to do if the language menu is not showing
If you cannot find the Language dropdown in Settings > Billing, you may be logged out or viewing a cached version of the page. Try logging out completely, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in. On mobile, try closing the app entirely and reopening it.
If the dropdown still does not appear after those steps, your account may have a restriction or your browser may not be fully compatible with the Roblox website. Try using a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) or contact Roblox Support through their help center at roblox.com/support. Include a screenshot of your Settings page so they can see exactly what you are seeing.
Switching back to English or your original language
You can change your language setting as many times as you want. If you accidentally selected a language you do not read, go back to Settings > Billing and look for the dropdown at the top of the page — it will be labeled in whatever language you currently have selected, but it is always in the same location. Click it and select the language you want.
If you are completely lost in a language you do not understand, look for the gear icon (⚙️) in the top right, click it, then look for the word that appears first in the left menu (usually "Billing" or its equivalent). The Language dropdown is always at the top of that page, regardless of which language is displayed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing my language affect my Robux or my games?
No. Your Robux balance, game progress, inventory, and everything else on your account stays exactly the same. Language is only a display setting for the Roblox interface itself.
Can I use a language that is not in the dropdown?
Not through Roblox's official language settings. If your language is not listed, you can request it through Roblox Support, but there is no workaround to add unlisted languages. Some players use browser translation tools as an alternative, though these are not official and can sometimes produce awkward or incorrect translations.
If I change my language, will other players know?
No. Other players cannot see what language your interface is set to. They only see your username, profile, and the messages you type — all of which are in whatever language you choose to write them in, regardless of your interface language.
What if a game I play is not translated into my language?
You will see that game in English (or whatever language the creator built it in). You can still play it normally — the language setting only controls Roblox's own menus and buttons, not the content that game creators make. If a game is important to you and not in your language, you could message the creator and ask if they plan to add translations.
