Click the cogwheel icon ('Settings') in the bottom-left corner of any page, then select 'All Settings.'
Choose 'Profile' from the settings menu and scroll down to the Details section.
Use the drop-down menu next to 'Show content in multiple languages' to select your preferred option.
Selecting 'Selected Languages' will display an additional drop-down menu where you can choose which languages you want to see content in.
Click 'Save' at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.
Here are the options you can choose from:

Android
You can change the language on your Android app to any language you have installed on your phone. Follow these steps to do so:
Tap 'More' in the bottom menu, scroll down and select 'Settings'
Then, tap 'Profile' and choose 'Select Language' to access your device's language settings.
By default, the app’s language matches your device’s language. If you enable 'Force English,' the app will always display in English, regardless of your phone’s language settings.
iOS
The iOS app automatically adjusts to your device's language. But if you want to use it in a different language, you can easily change it if your device runs iOS 13 or higher!
Make sure your iPhone is running iOS 13 or later by going to Settings > General > About.
Next, go to Settings > General > Language & Region and select the language you want to use. You can also set your preferred primary language for your iPhone here.
Then, return to settings, scroll down to the list of installed apps, and tap Chess.com
Under 'Preferred Language,' choose the language you want to use for the app.
Once selected, Chess.com will display in your chosen language.
