Android 13 will allow individual language setting for apps

Android 13 will be the first version of the operating system to differentiate the language selected to display the Android interface from that used in favorite apps, solving many issues for non-native English speakers.

While it's easier to implement, setting the language during the initial setup of your Android phone or tablet is far from the ideal solution. In fact, many users set English as their default language, even if they are not native speakers, simply because most apps look better and are easier to understand without more or less successful translations, missing out on strictly related functionality. language. selected. For example, some apps support voice interaction, but it is related to the language selected for the interface display. So, even if a GPS navigation app supports address lookup in Romanian, selecting the display language of the English interface will deny you this very convenient help.

Another example is setting your favorite messaging app to English. On Android 13, you'll be able to benefit from automatic corrections in your native language for typed messages and even dictate responses using voice recognition, regardless of the language selected for the interface display. Relevant settings can be found in the Settings>Language & Input>App Languages ​​menu, differentiated by the Android interface, the app display interface and the language used in the keyboard app. For now, these changes are in the early stages of implementation, using the API already developed for Android 12.
