This wikiHow teaches you how to change the default language in the Google Chrome browser. Remember, web pages will still appear in the language they were written in, although Chrome usually offers to translate the page to the default language. The default language in the Chrome application on Android and iPhone cannot be changed because it will follow the language settings applied to the device.
