How to change the language in VK on a computer, on a phone, in an application

Hello, my dear reader! Fedor Lykov is in touch. Waking up this morning, and not yet lifting my head from the pillow, the realization came to me that I don’t know how to change the language in VK, but this may be needed at the most inopportune moment.

The need for change may be necessary in the following cases:

Firstly, when traveling to other states;
Secondly, there was a breakdown in the regional settings;
Thirdly, for the convenience of foreign residents when using the program in the Russian Federation;
And if practice is needed when studying.

It’s better to understand new information while listening to your favorite music, so the algorithm for downloading music from VK[/anchor] will be more useful now than ever.

Changing the interface for unregistered users

Before we move on to answering the question: how to change the language in VK on a PC, it is worth highlighting the problem of changing the dialect during registration.

Initially, the social network VKontakte was created as a multilingual service for communication between people of different nationalities. In the vastness of the service, pages are created for users from Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, as well as America, Germany and France.

Therefore, software developers have prepared various versions for the convenience of foreign users and translated the interface into dozens of languages, but sometimes incidents happen that prevent you from using the service.

Imagine this situation: you go to a website and want to create a personal page for yourself, but you see incomprehensible symbols that do not want to form words.

It is not possible to figure out where to click correctly if the words are not clear. The only solution here is to change the style to a more familiar one.

This can be done in the following ways:

First, you need to open the start page of the service. For those who don’t yet know where it is, just click on the link VK start page.
Secondly, scroll to the very bottom of the page,
Thirdly, in the lower right corner there is a line “language” and a list of options available for selection,
And if you couldn’t find what you needed right away, you need to click the “All language” button, this action will lead to opening the full list.

The last step is to save all the changes made, which will allow you to use VK without problems after registration.

As can be seen from the discussions above, even unregistered users can change the layout without any problems.

Methods

To change your name to Japanese, make the system think that you live in Japan. The procedure is as follows:

Install a browser extension that changes your IP address to Japanese (Hola VPN).
Change the VK language to Japanese.
Go to the edit your information page and turn on the VPN.
Translate your name, then transliterate it into Romaji and enter the result in the appropriate fields about yourself.
Click "Save".
Log out of VKontakte, turn off the VPN and do not log into your profile for several days. The application will be accepted.

If it is rejected, translate the Japanese words using Russian transcription and try again. If your application is approved, luck is on your side. But keep in mind that more than 70% of changes even to ordinary Russian names are rejected.

There are no guarantees, since you can enter data that does not meet VKontakte requirements only when creating a new page. If all else fails, you will have to do this by using a different mobile phone number or unlinking the old one from your existing VK profile.

I know for sure that to change a name in English they use English. proxy server. But how to change your name to Japanese?

Due to innovations in the social network “Vkontakte9quot;, now it is not possible to simply change your name. For Russian-speaking users, there is now no way to replace the first or last name written in Russian letters with the same English names. For example, instead of “Nastya9quot; write “Nastya9quot; (can be changed to Lena/Vasyan/Igor, but not to Nastya). Now the first and last names must be written only in Russian letters. But there is one way out: you can create a new account. When creating a new account on the VKontakte social network, you can write any symbols in the first or last name column (even in Chinese, even in Russian, whatever you want). But later changing the first/last name to some other characters will no longer work, since “kontasha9quot; will require the same Russian letters.

Initially, when the social network VKontakte appeared, a person could enter absolutely any first or last name. Often these were fictitious words, but recently the administration began to moderate this item. Before you rename yourself to VK, you should know that fake data will not be approved by the system.

For various reasons, people could register contact pages under fictitious nicknames, for example, so that they would not be found by a friend with whom they did not want to communicate. Some just wanted to stand out, and they took nicknames of famous people. Currently, the service company's policy prohibits the use of fake data. For the same reason, changes in first and last names are moderated.

To prevent a person from having their account blocked, you should find out how to change your VKontakte name. This procedure is possible if you enter the correct data correctly. Before this procedure, you should consider some nuances:

You won't be able to change your data without a linked phone. Every time you submit an application, a window will pop up asking you to link your number to the page.
You will be denied editing your profile if you write in Latin, but there is a method to bypass this problem.
If you submit applications and they are regularly rejected, after a certain number of attempts this opportunity will be blocked for a certain period. The date when you can try to change again will be written to you separately.

How to change the language in VK on PC

Now in VK there is only one way to make a replacement, and this can be done by resorting to the standard functions of the social network interface. At the same time, almost all languages of the world are offered for choice.

Log in to your VK page. If you are not yet on this network, there are 3 effective ways to register on VK. After logging in, you need to open the main menu by clicking on your profile photo.

In the drop-down menu you will see the “Settings” line, which you need to go to.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Perehod-k-stranitse-nastroyki-cherez-glavnoe-menyu-VKontakte.png$

The next step is to switch to the “General” section.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Perehod-k-razdelu-obshhee-cherez-navigatsionnoe-menyu-v-nastroykah-VKontakte.png$

Using the scroll wheel, move down to the bottom of the page, to the “Language” settings item.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Poisk-punkta-yazyik-v-razdele-obshhee-v-nastroykah-VKontakte.png$

Next to the currently installed one is the “edit” tab.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Izmenenie-yazyika-interfeysa-cherez-yazyikovyie-nastroyki-VKontakte.png$

The window that opens will allow you to access the selection list.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Okno-s-osnovnyimi-yazyikami-pri-smene-yazyikovyih-nastroek-VKontakte.png$

The most used languages are shown in the open window. If you need to see an expanded list, click “Other languages”.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Okno-so-vsemi-dostupnyimi-dlya-interfeysa-yazyikami-pri-smene-yazyikovyih-nastroek-VKontakte.png$

The most interesting and at the same time funny thing is that the list of languages contains such languages as “Pre-revolutionary” and “Soviet”. If you choose the first option, the page will be stylized as Tsarist Russia, and the second will allow you to plunge into the surroundings of the USSR.

It is also worth noting that management constantly analyzes new users and, if necessary, expands the list of languages and dialects.

Having decided which language you need to translate the interface into, left-click on it and enjoy the result.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Vyibor-novogo-yazyika-dlya-interfeysa-pri-smene-yazyikovyih-nastroek-VKontakte.png$

For example, a page in English would look like this:

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\Sranitsa-VKontakte-na-Angliyskom-yazyike.png$

There is another way to change the VKontakte language for those who use the page from a PC.

To do this, you need to scroll down the page and under the menu lines you will find the “more” button, when clicked, an additional drop-down menu will open, where we will see the line “Language: …”.

After this, a window will appear as in the paragraph above, and the change algorithm will not change further.
After all manipulations are completed, the interface will be translated into the selected language.

How to change the language on VK from your phone

First of all, let me differentiate between two concepts:

First, let's look at the method of changing the mobile version of the site, this means that all manipulations will be directed to the site opened through the phone's browser.
The second situation is related to the VK application, which is installed from Google Play or the App Store.

The procedure when using the mobile version of the social network may cause minor difficulties. At least, users of various devices claim that changing the language is not always possible.

After logging in, you need to click on the three bars on the left side of the screen.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\perekhodim-v-menyu.png$

Next we need to move to the settings subsection called “Account”.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\mobilnaya-versiya-vk.png$

And here we need to find the section we need.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\tekushchie-ustanovki.png$
The window that opens will offer us a list of various languages for the convenience of clients.

$C:\Users\Larionov AA\Desktop\vk\vk\Gmail\smena-interfejsa.png$

Now let's move on to the mobile application. For it, both on Android and iPhone, there are no language change functions. The only way to get out of this situation is to try changing the language directly on the device. In this case, the transfer will be automatically made in the application.

Changing the social network interface will allow you to use your account to practice learning foreign words or allow you to comfortably use the service.

Full version of the site

You can use the full version of the VK website both on your computer and on any other device, including a smartphone or tablet.

To change the language, go to any section of the menu, for example, to settings. In this case, this is not important; what is more important is to get to the bottom of the page, where the additional menu is located. It looks like this:

The main thing here is the link word “Russian”, which means that you are currently using the Russian language on the site. Let's say you want to change the Russian language to English. In this case, click on the link word “Russian”, after which a window will appear with a choice of language.

To select a language, click on the checkbox.

If you click Other languages, you can see all the languages that VK supports, and there are a lot of them. Select the one you need by clicking on it once.

That's it, the process of changing the language is complete.
