Change system language and region on Galaxy S25

Need to use your Galaxy S25 in a different language or region? This guide shows the correct settings path for changing system language, keyboard language, and region-related options that affect app/store behavior.

Before changing language and region

• Back up important data first (recommended for major region/account changes).
• Make sure your phone is updated to the latest One UI version.
• Understand that system language and store/account region are different settings.

Change system language on Galaxy S25

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap General management.
3. Tap Language.
4. Tap Add language and select the language you want.
5. Choose whether to apply it as primary language.
6. Confirm and wait a few seconds for the UI to refresh.

Reorder or remove device languages

1. Go to Settings > General management > Language.
2. Tap Edit.
3. Drag to reorder language priority, or remove unused languages.

Apps that support multiple languages often follow this priority list.

Change Samsung Keyboard language

1. Open Settings > General management > Samsung Keyboard settings.
2. Tap Languages and types.
3. Tap Manage input languages.
4. Download/enable desired language packs.
5. Switch keyboard language while typing using the language key or spacebar swipe.

Change app/store region behavior (important)

If you’re trying to access region-specific apps/services, changing phone language alone is usually not enough.

• Galaxy Store region can depend on Samsung account country and SIM/carrier profile.
• Google Play region depends on your Google Payments profile country.
• Network region features can depend on carrier and active SIM/eSIM.

Change date, time, and regional formats

1. Go to Settings > General management > Date and time.
2. Enable automatic date/time and time zone, or set manually if needed.
3. Check 24-hour format and locale-dependent number/date formatting in apps.

If the language or region change doesn’t apply correctly

• Restart the phone after changing language.
• Update affected apps from Play Store/Galaxy Store.
• Clear app cache for apps stuck in old language.
• Sign out/in of Samsung or Google account if store region still does not update.
• For strict region locks, contact carrier/Samsung support for region policy confirmation.

In short: change language from General management, then separately adjust keyboard, account region, and store settings if your goal is full regional switching.
