How to change display language on KuCoin? (User interface)

Accessing Language Settings

1. Log in to your KuCoin account using a web browser or the official mobile application.

2. On the web interface, locate the user profile icon positioned at the top-right corner of the screen.

3. Click the icon to open the dropdown menu containing account-related options.

4. Select Settings from the list — this opens the global configuration panel.

5. Navigate to the Language section, which appears under the General tab.

Changing Language on Desktop Web

1. Within the Language section, a dropdown menu displays all supported interface languages.

2. Click the dropdown and scroll through the list to find your preferred language — options include English, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, and more.

3. Select the desired language; the change takes effect immediately without requiring page reload.

4. All UI elements — including navigation menus, trading panels, order forms, and notification banners — update in real time.

5. Some localized content such as help center articles or announcement banners may reflect regional formatting conventions like date, number, and currency symbol placement.

Modifying Language on Mobile App

1. Open the KuCoin mobile app and tap the Profile tab located at the bottom right corner.

2. Tap the gear-shaped Settings icon in the upper-right corner of the Profile screen.

3. Scroll down and select Language under the Account & Security section.

4. Choose your preferred language from the available list — the app will prompt you to confirm the switch.

5. After confirmation, the entire interface re-renders instantly, including chart labels, wallet balance displays, and KYC instruction screens.

Language Persistence Across Devices

1. KuCoin ties language preference to the user account rather than device or browser session.

2. Once changed on one platform, the setting syncs automatically across all active login sessions — desktop, iOS, Android, and tablet apps.

3. If you log in from a new device or clear browser cache, the system retrieves your saved language preference from the server.

4. No manual reconfiguration is required unless you explicitly reset preferences via account recovery or logout followed by fresh login.

5. Language selection does not affect API responses, which remain in English regardless of UI setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does changing the UI language affect the language of email notifications? A1. No. Email notifications default to the language set during account registration and remain unchanged unless manually updated in the Notification Preferences section.

Q2: Why do some terms remain in English after switching languages? A2. Certain technical terms — such as “BTC”, “USDT”, “Leverage”, or “Stop-Limit” — are retained in English to maintain consistency with global trading standards and avoid ambiguity.

Q3: Can I set different languages for trading interface and help center? A3. No. The language setting applies uniformly across all frontend components, including the help center, live chat interface, and tutorial popups.

Q4: Is RTL (right-to-left) layout supported for Arabic or Hebrew? A4. Yes. When Arabic or Hebrew is selected, the entire UI switches to RTL orientation, including menu alignment, input field direction, and chart axis labeling.
