How to Switch the Binance App to a Chinese Interface

Downloading the Binance app and seeing it entirely in English can be a headache for many people. Especially for beginners who have just entered the crypto world, they might not even understand what the buttons on the trading interface mean, let alone how to operate them. Don't worry, the Binance app supports Chinese; you just need to change the settings. First, ensure you have registered an account on the Binance official website and installed the Binance official app. iPhone users can refer to the iOS installation guide for installation.

Why is the Downloaded Binance App in English?

There are several possible reasons:

• Downloaded via an overseas Apple ID: Because you downloaded it using an overseas (e.g., US region) Apple ID, the app defaults to the language based on the Apple ID's region.
• Phone system language is English: The app might follow the phone's system language.
• Android phone downloaded from Google Play: The Play Store might have installed the English version by default.
• In-app settings were changed: You might have accidentally switched the language previously.

Whatever the reason, you can manually switch it within the app.

Steps to Switch to Chinese on Android Phones

Method 1: In-App Switch (Recommended)

1. Open the Binance app
2. Tap the avatar icon in the top left corner (or "Profile"/User Center at the bottom)
3. Find "Settings" — it is a gear icon
4. Find "Language" in the settings list
5. Tap to enter the language selection page
6. Find 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese) or 繁体中文 (Traditional Chinese) in the language list
7. Tap to select
8. The app might reload, and once reloading is complete, it will be in Chinese

If You Can't Find Settings

If you really can't understand the English interface and can't find where the settings are, follow these steps:

1. After opening the app, look at the row of tabs at the bottom
2. Tap the tab furthest to the right (usually the User Center)
3. Scroll down after entering
4. Find the option with the gear icon; that is the settings
5. After entering settings, look for the option with a globe icon or one that says "Language"

Method 2: Follow System Language

Some versions of the Binance app can automatically follow the phone's system language:

1. If your phone's system is in Chinese, but the app is in English
2. Check the app's language settings to see if there is a "System Default" or "Follow System" option
3. Select this option, and the app will change to Chinese

Steps to Switch to Chinese on iPhone

Method 1: In-App Switch

Similar to Android:

1. Open the Binance app
2. Tap the avatar in the top left corner
3. Find "Settings"
4. Find "Language"
5. Select 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese)
6. Wait for the app to reload

Method 2: Via iOS System Settings

iOS has a feature to set the language for individual apps:

1. Open the iPhone's "Settings"
2. Scroll down and find Binance
3. Tap to enter
4. Find "Language" or "Preferred Language"
5. Select 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese)
6. Return to the app, and the language will have changed

The advantage of this method is that you don't need to hunt for the settings option inside the app; you change it directly at the system level.

What Content Will Change to Chinese After Switching?

Will Change to Chinese

• Menu bars and navigation buttons
• Text on the trading interface (Buy, Sell, Market, Limit, etc.)
• Various options on the settings page
• Notifications and alert content
• Parts of the Help Center
• Some labels on the candlestick charts

Might Still Be in English

• Full names of certain coins (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum)
• Some announcements and news (depending on whether a Chinese version is available)
• Abbreviations for some technical indicators (MA, MACD, RSI, etc.)
• Trading pair names (BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, etc.)
• API-related settings and descriptions

It is normal for this content to remain in English because they are internationally recognized terms; translating them into Chinese might actually be less convenient.

Should You Choose Simplified or Traditional Chinese?

The Binance app typically offers two Chinese options:

• Simplified Chinese (简体中文): Suitable for users in mainland China.
• Traditional Chinese (繁体中文): Suitable for users in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau.

If you are used to reading simplified characters, choose Simplified Chinese. If you are used to reading traditional characters, choose Traditional Chinese. There is no functional difference between the two; only the text display is different.

Common Issues After Switching Language

It Changed Back to English After Switching

Possible reasons:

• An app update reset the language settings
• Clearing the app cache caused the settings to be lost
• An app bug

Solutions:

• Re-enter settings and switch back to Chinese
• If it happens repeatedly, try updating to the latest version of the app

The App Lags After Switching Language

• The app needs to reload page resources when switching languages
• If the network is slow, it might lag for a while
• Just wait for it to finish loading, usually no more than a minute

Parts of the Page are in Chinese, Parts in English

• This occasionally happens
• It's usually because the app hasn't fully loaded the Chinese resources yet
• Closing and reopening the app will fix it
• If it stays like this, try clearing the cache and setting the language again

Can't Find Previous Features After Switching Language

• The features haven't disappeared; they just have Chinese names you might not recognize
• For example, "Spot" becomes 现货, "Futures" becomes 合约
• You'll get used to it after a while

FAQ

Do I need to log in again after switching languages?

No. Switching languages only changes the interface display and does not affect your login status.

Will the customer service change to Chinese customer service after switching to Chinese?

Binance has a Chinese customer service team. When your app is set to Chinese, the online customer service will usually match you with a Chinese representative. However, during peak times, you might be assigned an English representative.

Will switching languages affect trading?

Not at all. Language settings only affect the interface display text and will not affect any trading functions, price displays, or asset data.

How many languages does the Binance app support?

The Binance app supports dozens of languages, including but not limited to: Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Turkish, Vietnamese, etc.

Are language settings tied to the account or the device?

They are usually tied to the device. That means if you set it to Chinese on Phone A, Phone B will still be in English, and you need to set it separately on Phone B.

How do I report translation errors in the Chinese interface?

You can submit translation issues through the "Help & Feedback" feature within the Binance app. Binance's localization team regularly processes these feedbacks.
