Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 – How to Change Language

Being made for a global market, Android smartphones offer numerous language and region customization options. A huge selection of custom keyboard layouts is also available through the Google Play Store. Read on to find out how to customize language, input, and region on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.

Change Language

Changing the language on your phone might be a good way to immerse yourself in a language that you’re trying to master. Apart from that, it is good to know how to select your own language in case you bought your Redmi Note 4 from overseas. The most common way to do this is through the “Settings” app. Here’s how it is done:

1. Unlock the phone.

2. Tap and launch the “Settings” app from the Home screen.

3. Next, tap the “Additional Settings” and then on “Language and Input” tab.

4. After that, select the “Language” tab.

5. Choose the language you want to switch to and tap its name.

Change Region

On the same note, if you purchased your Redmi Note 4 from abroad, you might have to change its region together with the language. Similarly, if you’re moving to another country, it would be good to change the region, as well. Here’s how the region change works on the Redmi Note 4:

1. Unlock the phone.

2. Tap the “Settings” icon on the Home screen to launch the app.

3. Once the app launches, tap the “Additional Settings” tab.

4. Next, tap the “Region” tab.

5. Pick the region you want to switch your phone to and tap its name.

If everything goes well, the clock on your phone should adjust to the current time in the region or country of your choice. Also, the time and date format might change. For example, the date format might change from MM/DD/YYYY to DD/MM/YYYY, while the time format might switch from 12-hour to 24-hour mode.

Change Keyboard

If you want to change the keyboard, you can do so from the “Settings” app. Here’s how to do it on a Redmi Note 4 running MIUI 10:

1. Unlock the phone.

2. Launch the “Settings” app from the Home screen.

3. Scroll down and tap the “Additional Settings” tab.

4. Next, select the “Language and Input” tab.

5. In the “Keyboard & Input Methods”, you will see your current keyboard and the list of available keyboards. Tap the “Current Keyboard” tab.

6. Tap the name of the keyboard that you want to use.

This should change the keyboard for all apps with text input.

Change Keyboard within the App

You can also change the keyboard from within an app. In this example, we’ll use Google Chrome.

1. Unlock your Redmi Note 4.

2. Tap the Google search bar or launch the app by tapping its icon.

3. Once the app opens, tap the search bar.

4. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the “Status” menu.

5. Tap the “Change Keyboard” option.

6. Select the keyboard that you want to use and tap its name.
