Changing the Language on the Website

  1. 1
    Go to https://www.amazon.com and log in. You can use any web browser to navigate to your Amazon account and change the language.
    • Depending on your browser's location and the URL you use, you'll get different languages. For example, if you use https://www.amazon.com, you'll likely get English and Espanol as choices.
