How do I switch my MySpace profile language from Spanish to English?

Help! I accidentally pressed the Latino MySpace button and changed my MySpace to Spanish! Now I can't change it back to English. Can you please help me change it back to English mode? Gracias!


Dave's Answer:

I have a practice of not making fun of people who send in questions, but tu vida en línea es muy difícil, si? :-)

Anyway, it's not obvious how to switch, but it turns out that MySpace supports quite a few different languages, though it's buried in the timezone setting, of all things. Let's do this in English first, then we'll do it again in Español tambien.

In English, if you're in classic view on MySpace, click on ""Account Settings", then you'll see this:

MySpace: Settings: Account

You can see here this is where you tweak your email account settings, but what we want to examine is the "Preferred Site and Language". You'll notice it is "U.S.A." Want to have it in Spanish? Choose "U.S.A. (Spanish)". German? Try "Germany". Italian? "Italy", and so on. Pick which you'd prefer and click on "Save Changes".

Now, in Spanish, assuming you're still in "classic" view, you'll want to look closely at the different options adjacent to your photo on the left:

MySpace: Spanish: Modificar

You want to click on "mi cuenta" (which translates literally to "my mind", oddly enough), which takes you here:

MySpace: Spanish: Cuenta

The field you want to change is labelled "Idioma y sitio preferidos" (language and site preferences). The default for Spanish is "EEUU (Español)" where "EEUU" is the United States (literally Los Estados Unidos). Change this to just plain "EEUU" and click on the button labelled "Guardar cambios" and you should be back to English after you next click on anything. Try clicking on "Inicio" in the top left: it'll take you back to your Home view on MySpace.

If you aren't in Classic view but are instead using one of the fancy skins that MySpace offers, you'll have a control panel like this:

MySpace: Spanish: Panel de Control

In this case click on "Configuración" and you'll be able to pick up the steps from there!

Don't forget, I have lots and lots of MySpace help and, I suppose, MySpace Ayuda too :-)

Wow!

People like YOU are the reason I decided to start my own company yesterday!

Hell Yes!

Picture finally having your "own my company" moment of zen- when your myspace switches to ESPANOL!

If you heard:
"MOTHER$&#*$@()&#@!"
Followed by a few gun shots last night...it wasme!

But if you heard "AWW HELL YEAH!" in the last few seconds....that was me TOO! (after finding this insanely cool website of yours)

WELCOME TO MY FAVORITES.

WHOEVER'S IDEA THIS SITE WAS- YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!

Hi there,
I haven't been on-line on MySpace for 1 week now and when I went to check my MySpace stuff, I am surprised to find that my site has been switched to Spanish instead of the usual English which I always see.. Can u help me switch my MySpace back into English? It's urgent.. Thanks again.. Please get back to me soon..

Posted by: Sherlyn Goh at May 10, 2008 8:22 PM

Hi there,
I'm Sherlyn, a MySpace user from Singapore and I experience some problems with my MySpace site which has been changed into Spanish instead of English.. I am not so fluent in Spanish and I can't change it back into English now.. Please help me to get MySpace back into English.. Many thanks..

Posted by: Sherlyn Goh at May 10, 2008 8:34 PM

I'm in Thailand and have tried for the past two days to sign up to myspace, and get spanish only. On all the search engines. Google, yahoo ... Wa's going on? Would've thought something so big as myspace could have sorted themselves out by now!

Posted by: tamsin at May 12, 2008 9:36 PM

I followed your steps and it did not change anything. This is what I had to do:

Go to home page (myspace.com), scroll down to the bottom left, click on "United States".

Now your good.

Posted by: G at May 19, 2008 12:54 PM

Thanks a bunch. Wish Myspace could simply inform us next time they decide to switch to Spanish and ask me in that language whether I understand the same! I was confused just one sunny morning when all my pages were in jibberish.

Thanks a lot; be blessed for this help; it worked.

Can someone help me switch over from German to English? I don't know why it's stuck in German and I used the Spanish instructions above, but can't find account settings in German.

Posted by: Joe at December 16, 2008 11:50 AM

Just simply use the following URL:

http://uk.myspace.com

Much easier, or http://es.myspace.com for Spanish

Posted by: Craig at December 28, 2008 2:15 AM

so for some reason my myspace is all in hispanic?
i tried doing the whole "account change," but it is still not working..

i even tried making a whole new myspace, account and everything. and it is still in spanish.

Posted by: vanessa at April 21, 2009 9:18 AM

Okay, that sounds like a great explanation in theory and I really appreciate the effort that went into it. But, when I go to Account Settings to try and do that, it's still all in Chinese and I don't know Mandarin (which is like Traditional Chinese) or Cantonese (which is Simplified Chinese) either one - soooooooo, what do I do now? I can't even read this stuff to make the appropriate changes. This is so frustrating.

Posted by: sam at May 28, 2009 8:34 AM

*********************ok guys.. i've had alot of trouble with this but i finally figured it out ...if your myspace has changed into a different language, it wont change by changing your account settings.. go to your homepage and scroll all the way down .. do you see at the bottom of the page where it says Myspace International .. click there and just click on what ever country u pefer.. hope this helped ;)********************

Posted by: Gizem at June 6, 2009 11:08 AM

Hey Dave!
I'm in China right now and OH MY GOD it's so frustrating because I can only read a little mandarin. I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I switched it back to english! I'm so happy! You're the greatest =].

Haha oh, and a quick note to whoever said Cantonese is traditional and Mandarin is simplified. That's not really how it is. Cantonese and Mandarin and both types of Chinese, different dialects, you could say. Traditional is just how it was a long time ago and simplified is an easier version for modern times. Both traditional and simplified are spoken the same - they are merely written differently (simplified is MUCH less complicated).

Anyways, I just felt the need to clarify that, sorry.

Thanks Dave!

Hi Dave,
My myspace has switched to Polish and I can't switch it back to English. I've tried choosing UK at the bottom of the page where you have Myspace International, I've also tried changing the settings in my account/account and in both cases it all still switches back to Polish:/ please help...

Posted by: Michael at July 8, 2009 4:32 PM

how can put back english to my profile

Posted by: zulma at July 23, 2009 11:26 PM

the easiest way to change the language is to scroll down to the end of the page then press on myspace international which got a down arrow next to it and then press on united states( english ) and that's it

Posted by: michel at August 25, 2009 8:28 PM

Dave,thank you so much man,you are a big help,dont know what i would do without YOU

Hi there!
Pulling out my hair here. I want to start a MySpace page in English, but I am currently living in a foreign country. So every time I click to start a page, everything comes up in the freakin language of the foreign country I'm living in. I don't understand any of it. Is there a way to get instructions and starter page in English? or where is the switch language button located? This is such a stupid implementation by MySpace. Millions of people are living all over the globe in foreign language countries and would want pages in their native tongue!
So hope you can help.
Anne.
