How To Change Facebook Business Page Language

Facebook is popular worldwide, and there is no way people use the same language everywhere. And this has more effect on a page since it needs to deal with many users from many countries. Hence, learning to change the Facebook business page language is necessary for better communication.

There are two aspects where you need to change the language. One for your personal use and one for communicating with others.

While changing the language for your FB account is very easy, it isn’t so for communicating with others. Who knows what language they are proficient in, right?

So, what you can do is list the languages in which you are fluent in your “About” section so that people can text you using them.

Hence, this tutorial will teach you to change the Facebook business page language for different scenarios, along with a few valuable tips. And let’s also learn to get a Facebook page link while at it.

Can you Change Facebook Business Page Language?

Yes, you can change the Facebook business page language anytime you want, whether for your personal use or for others.

You see by default, a user will see their page in the English language. And if they want, they can change it to their native one from the settings.

Now, they can enjoy Facebook in their own language. But this doesn’t mean it is changed for other people too. Instead, it is private editing for personal experience.

This kind of change will affect the basic infrastructure of Facebook. For example, buttons, options, features, etc., will be shown in that language.

But, the name and content of your friends and followers will still appear in the language they choose unless you translate it manually. Nevertheless, it is still a good feature.

However, it is the norm for a business to deal with multiple people of different nationalities. Not everyone can understand English. And many people may understand it but cannot speak or write in it.

So, to help them, you can change the support language in your About section. Now, people can see that you can speak more than English and will message you because of such options.

Think of it this way. You see a post on a page and like their product. You want to ask more about it but can’t write and speak English (or whatever language they use). In such a situation, if you see they can communicate in more languages (in the About section), it will greatly help.

So, for a Facebook business page, it is very important to change their languages to increase their reach among a wider audience.
