• Your language isn't listed: We work to support more languages for our products. If you choose a primary language that isn't available, we may ask you to select an alternate language. If an alternate language is needed, in the Language section of your Google Account, you can find your alternate language listed beneath your primary language. You can select it to change it.
• I use a mobile device: Changes to your preferred language are reflected on the web. To change the preferred language for mobile apps, update the language settings on your device.
