Vinted doesn’t include a built-in language setting within the app or website. That means you can’t simply go into Vinted’s settings and choose a new language from a list. Instead, the app automatically uses the language set on your device or browser. If you want to change Vinted’s language, you’ll need to update your phone or computer’s system settings.
This can be a bit frustrating if the app suddenly switches to another language — usually due to travel, updates or region settings — but once you understand how it works, it’s easy to fix.
Why Is Vinted in the Wrong Language?
If your Vinted app is showing up in a language like French, Spanish or German, it’s usually because:
- Your phone has that language set as primary or secondary
- Your app store region is set to a different country
- You’re using a VPN or travelling abroad
- You’ve reinstalled the app and it picked up your current device settings
Vinted automatically chooses the language based on your device’s default. It doesn’t ask for confirmation, and there’s no way to change the language from inside the app once it’s set.
How to Change Language on the Vinted App (Mobile)
To get the app back into English (or switch to another language), follow these steps based on your phone’s operating system:
On iPhone:
- Open Settings
- Tap General
- Tap Language & Region
- Set English (UK) as your primary language
- Remove any unwanted languages (e.g. French or Spanish)
- Restart your phone and reopen Vinted
On Android:
- Open Settings
- Tap System
- Tap Languages & Input
- Tap Languages
- Set English (UK) at the top of the list
- Remove or move other languages lower down
- Restart the app or your phone if needed
Once these settings are updated, Vinted should switch to the correct language the next time you open it.
How to Change Language on Vinted Website
If you're using Vinted through a browser and it's in the wrong language, it’s likely due to your browser’s preferred language settings or your IP location.
To fix this:
- Change your browser language to English (UK)
- If needed, clear cookies or open the site in an incognito window
- Disable any VPNs that might be routing you through another country
You can also try manually going to the UK version of the site by typing www.vinted.co.uk in the address bar.
What If the App Still Doesn’t Change?
If you've updated your device settings but Vinted is still stuck in the wrong language:
- Uninstall the app
- Restart your device
- Reinstall Vinted from the correct version of your app store (based on your region and language)
Make sure your app store country is also set to the UK or your preferred country — otherwise the app may keep defaulting to another version.
Summary
To change the language on Vinted, you need to update your phone or browser’s language settings — the app itself doesn’t offer a manual option. Vinted follows your device’s default language automatically, so make sure English (UK) is set as the main language on your phone or browser. Once corrected, Vinted will display in the proper language going forward.
