To change language on tablet from Spanish to english, open the Settings app (the gear icon) and look for "Ajustes" if your screen is still in Spanish. If you need help locating the gear icon, here is how to get to settings on Amazon Fire tablet. The exact menu names depend on whether you have an Android tablet, a Samsung Galaxy tablet, or an iPad, but each follows a clear path you can navigate even without understanding the Spanish labels. If you need to type in Spanish temporarily before switching, you can get Spanish keyboard on your tablet without changing the system language.
How to change language on tablet from Spanish to English: Android tablets
On most Android tablets, start by tapping the Ajustes (Settings) app. From there, go to Sistema (System), then Idiomas y entrada (Languages & input), and finally Idiomas (Languages). Tap Añadir un idioma (Add a language) and select English from the list. Once English appears in your language list, press and hold the drag handle on the right side of the row and move it to the very top of the list. This sets English as the default system language.
How to change language on tablet from Spanish to English: Samsung Galaxy tablets
Samsung Galaxy tablets use a slightly different path. Open Ajustes (Settings), then tap Administración general (General management). Inside that menu, select Idioma (Language). Tap Agregar idioma (Add language) and choose English. After it is added, tap and hold the English entry and drag it to the top of the list. The tablet will immediately switch to English.
How to change language on tablet from Spanish to English: iPad
On an iPad, open the Ajustes (Settings) app. Tap General, then Idioma y región (Language & Region). If English is not already in the list, tap Añadir idioma... (Add Language...) and select English. A confirmation pop-up will appear asking if you want to keep Spanish as a secondary language or use English as the primary language. Choose Usar inglés (Use English) to switch the entire system to English.
Setting app languages and final checks
On Android 14 and later, you can also change the language for individual apps without affecting the system language. Go to Ajustes (Settings) > Sistema (System) > Idiomas (Languages) and look for Idiomas de la aplicación (App languages). However, keep in mind that the availability of languages for specific applications is determined by the app's developer and may also depend on settings within the app itself. If some apps still show Spanish after you change the system language, check that app's own settings menu for a language option. If the change doesn't apply everywhere immediately, restart your tablet to force all system components to reload with the new language. If you are using a Fire tablet, the steps are different, so you'll need to change language back to english on Amazon Fire tablet using its dedicated settings.
