If you have a PlayStation 4 and have wondered how to change the console's language, you're in the right place. Adjusting the language of your PS4 may seem like a minor detail, but it offers multiple benefits that enhance the gaming experience. Changing the language is not only useful if you've purchased an imported console, a second-hand one, or if you share the console with people who speak other languages, but it is also key to making the most of the features, settings, and on-screen texts of games and applications.

If your PS4 is in a language you don't know, this guide will also be useful to you. Follow the steps and select the icons that appear in the images to navigate through the settings menus.

You will find two options, one to change the system language and another to change the "Input Languages."
