Question: How do I change the YouTube Studio language?

Answer

Changing the language in YouTube Studio requires adjusting settings in your Google Account, as YouTube Studio follows your overall Google language preferences. Here's a step-by-step guide to change the language:

Method 1: Changing Language via Google Account (Recommended)

  1. Go to your Google Account settings (myaccount.google.com)
  2. Navigate to "Data & personalization"
  3. Scroll down to "General preferences for the web"
  4. Select "Language"
  5. Click "Add another language" if your desired language isn't listed
  6. Use the up arrow to move your preferred language to the top of the list
  7. Clear your browser cache and cookies:
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + Delete (Mac)
    • Select the appropriate time range and data types
    • Click "Clear data"
  8. Restart your browser
  9. Open YouTube Studio - it should now display in your chosen language[1][2]

Method 2: Changing Language on Mobile Devices

If you're using the YouTube Studio mobile app:

  1. Go to your phone's Settings
  2. Find and select "Language & input" or similar option
  3. Choose your desired language
  4. Open the YouTube Studio app - it will now use your phone's language settings[3]

Method 3: Changing YouTube Website Language

While this doesn't directly change YouTube Studio's language, it can be helpful:

  1. Go to YouTube.com
  2. Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner
  3. Select "Language" from the drop-down menu
  4. Choose your preferred language[4]

Important Notes:

  • Changes may not be immediate. If you don't see the new language, try clearing your cache again or waiting a few hours.
  • YouTube Studio language is tied to your overall Google Account language settings, not just YouTube settings.
  • Video content remains in its original language regardless of your language settings.
  • If you're managing multiple channels, ensure you're changing settings for the correct brand account.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully change the language in YouTube Studio. Remember to be patient, as changes might take some time to propagate across all Google services.
