Make Taobao Easier: How to Change the App Language to English

 Hello,

This is Refundy, your essential service for maximizing margins in your Taobao dropshipping business.

If you have ever used the Taobao app for your business operations, you may have found it inconvenient that the app is only available in Chinese.

While the desktop version can be easily translated into English using Chrome’s translation feature, the mobile app does not offer any built-in translation functionality.
As a result, many users have been forced to take screenshots and manually translate content — a tedious and inefficient process.

Fortunately, there is an effective method to switch the Taobao app to an English interface without relying on external translation tools.
(Of course, a fully localized English version would be ideal, but navigating in English is still far easier than struggling with Chinese.)

In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to set the Taobao app to English for a smoother experience.

How to Change the Language Setting on the Taobao App

1. Launch the Taobao App and Navigate to “My Page”

Start by launching the Taobao app on your mobile device.
Tap on “My Page” located at the bottom right corner of the screen.

2. Access the Settings Menu

On the “My Page” screen, tap the gear icon at the top right corner to open the Settings menu.

3. Select “Country/Region and Language”

Within the Settings menu, find and tap the option labeled “Country/Region and Language.”

4. Change the Country Setting to “Singapore”

Regardless of your current country setting, you will need to change it to “Singapore.”
(For reference, in our example, the default setting was Korea.)

“Singapore” is generally listed around the fifth position from the top in the country list.

5. Set the Language to English

After changing the country, proceed to the Language option.
You will see two available options: Chinese and English.
Select English to complete the setup.

Congratulations — Your Taobao App Is Now in English!

Once you have completed these steps, your Taobao app will display in English.
This will significantly improve your ability to browse products, manage orders, and navigate the app efficiently without language barriers.

Taobao Cashback: Full Comparison Between ShopBack and Refundy

  When it comes to cashback on Taobao — the largest e-commerce platform in China —   ShopBack   has traditionally been one of the go-to services for users in Southeast Asia.

However, in recent years, a new competitor from South Korea has emerged:  Refundy .

In this article, we’ll take a close look at how Refundy stacks up against ShopBack, specifically referencing  ShopBack Singapore , since ShopBack U.S. does  not  support Taobao cashback at all. While ShopBack Korea technically does support Taobao cashback, its benefit level is significantly lower than the Singapore headquarters version — making the Singapore variant a more appropriate point of c...
