Change your Xbox 360 console or Xbox LIVE language

If text in the Xbox Dashboard appears in another language, you may need to change your console or Xbox LIVE account language. Here’s how:

To change the language setting on your Xbox 360 console, follow these steps:

1. Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and then select System Settings.
2. Select Console Settings.
3. Select Language and Locale.
4. Select Language.
5. Select the language that you want to use.

If your Xbox LIVE account is set to a country or region that supports multiple languages (for example, Canada), you can change your Xbox LIVE account language. Here’s how:

1. Go to Billing Account Information.
2. Sign in using your Microsoft account.
3. If multiple languages are supported for your country or region, select a language from Preferred Language.
   
   Note The Preferred Language option does not appear if only one language is supported (for example, the United States).



4. Click Save.

It may take up to 24 hours for this change to take effect on your Xbox 360 console.

The country or region of an Xbox LIVE account cannot be changed once the account is created, but you can select a different language if more than one is available.
