How to change your language settings on Facebook
How to change your language settings on Facebook
When you create a Facebook account, Facebook appears in the same language as the one you choose in your device's language settings. We also match how we show dates, time and numbers to your language region.
You can change your Language
settings to see things like buttons, notifications, most text and tooltips in a different language.
Note:
Changing region settings like temperature and dates, time and number formats are only available on your computer at this time.
