Language settings in Meta Ads Manager may look like a minor detail, but they directly influence how easily you navigate the platform and manage campaigns. Since the tool supports over 100 languages, advertisers can work in their native language, reducing errors and saving time. In this article, we present a step-by-step guide on the topic of how to change Meta Ads language. We will also consider the most common problems that users encounter during this process.
Why Language Settings Matter in Meta Ads Manager
Meta Ads Manager is a powerful, feature-rich tool. It helps advertisers effectively create and manage ad campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms in the Meta ecosystem.
The platform has a very user-friendly interface, which is intuitive and easy to use. Moreover, it is available in over 100 languages, so most Facebook users will easily find their native language here.
The correct choice of language settings makes the interface clearer and more convenient. It also improves the performance of your advertising campaigns on these platforms. By selecting the desired language in the settings, you will quickly master the features of preparing, managing, and analyzing your advertising campaigns through Meta Ads Manager. This, in turn, helps reduce the risk of making mistakes during certain actions.
Accessing Your Meta Ads Manager Account
By default, Facebook and other Meta services use the interface language that is set in your device settings. Similarly, the system adapts the date, time, and numeric values to your region and language settings.
To manage Meta Ads Manager language settings, first you need to log in to your Meta Ads Manager account. You can do this in several ways.
Via Facebook
Log in to your personal Facebook account and open the menu by clicking on the icon with nine dots in the upper right part of the page. Scroll down to the Professional category and click on Ads Manager. Or, enter “ads” in the search bar at the top of the page.
Via Meta Business Suite
You can also go to the platform's advertising account from your Meta Business Suite business portfolio. Sign in to this service using a personal Facebook or Instagram account or your email address.
Once you've logged into your Meta Business Suite profile, click on Ads Manager in the left-hand menu. Next, you'll need to add an existing ad account to your business portfolio or create a new one. In addition, you can link an ad account from another business portfolio by submitting a request in the same section.
Having successfully logged into your account in Meta Ads Manager, proceed to select language options.

I changed the Ads Manager language via my computer browser, but when I logged into my account on my smartphone, these changes were not saved. Why?
Please note that changing the language of the Meta services interface will only affect the device on which you performed this operation. For example, if you changed the language via a browser on a computer, this update will not be reflected in the account when you log in via a mobile browser or application. You need to perform this action one by one on all connected devices.
What should I do if I didn't find my native language among the suggested options?
You can contact Meta support services with a request by creating a ticket through the corresponding option in your advertising account settings. Or translate the page using Google Translate or another translator supported by your web browser.
What should I do if the Ads Manager interface language is not updated after a change?
Clearing your browser's cache and cookies may help. To achieve this, perform the appropriate operation in its settings, and then re-authorize in your Meta Ads Manager account.
