Many people download the Binance app only to find the interface is entirely in English. Switching the language is actually very simple. First, make sure you've installed the genuine app from the Binance official website — the official Binance APP. If you haven't installed it yet, iPhone users can check our iOS installation guide and Android users can download directly from the official website.
Why the App Defaults to English
You might wonder — doesn't Binance support Chinese? Why does the app download in English? There are a few reasons:
- The app automatically selects the display language based on your phone's system language. If your system is set to English, the app defaults to English
- Some regional downloads default to English
- You may have skipped the language selection during initial setup
Don't worry — the Binance app supports multiple languages and switching is very easy.

Option 2: Some versions have a three-dot menu or settings icon in the top right of the login page with a language option.
Option 3: If you can't find the language switch on the login page, quickly register and sign in first, then follow the logged-in steps above.
What Changes After Switching
After switching, all major app pages display in your chosen language:
Home Page
The market overview, quick feature shortcuts, and more will all display in your selected language. Note that cryptocurrency ticker symbols (BTC, ETH, etc.) are international abbreviations and won't be translated.
Trading Page
Buy/sell buttons, order type selections (limit/market), quantity and price input prompts all switch languages, making trading more intuitive.
Wallet Page
Asset overview, account balances, deposit/withdrawal buttons — all fully localized.
Personal Center
Identity verification, security settings, preference settings — all menu items display in your chosen language.
Other Language-Related Settings
Push Notification Language
After switching the interface language, push notifications will also change. If notifications remain in the old language, check your phone's system notification settings.
Customer Service Language
When contacting live support, the system automatically matches support agents who speak your language based on your settings.
Email Language
In settings, you can also change the language preference for official emails. After changing, all future official emails will be in your selected language.
Tips for a Better App Experience
While you're in the settings, consider these additional tweaks:
Set a Default Trading Pair
On the trading page, set your most-watched trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT) as the default so it appears every time you open the trading page.
Customize Home Page Layout
Home page modules can be rearranged. Put frequently used features up front and hide ones you rarely use.
Enable Price Alerts
Set price alerts for coins you're watching. The app will notify you when prices hit your targets, so you don't have to watch the screen constantly.
Adjust Chart Preferences
In the charts, set your default timeframe (1 min, 5 min, 1 hour, etc.) and default technical indicators based on your trading style.
