Hey mates! Taobao now has a full English version!  Follow this quick handy guide to switch your Taobao app from Chinese to English and make your shopping experience even easier. Let’s dive in! 🛍️✨

 

 

❗️

Before you switch the language settings, here’s an important note: Once Taobao is set to English mode, you won’t be able to pay directly using your Alipay balance. Instead, you can use other payment methods like Apple Pay, UnionPay, Visa, and more.

 

 

 

 
 

Step 1

Open the Taobao app, go to 我的淘宝 (My Taobao) in the bottom right corner, and tap 设置(Settings) in the top right corner.

 

Select 国家与地区 (Country/Region) and change your region to 新加坡 (Singapore) (the fifth option on the list).

 

 

 
 

Step 2

Return to the homepage, refresh the page, and go back to 设置(Settings).

 

Navigate to 国家/地区、语言、货币 (Country/Region, Language, Currency), select 语言(Language) and switch to "English." After confirming, you can also adjust the currency settings if needed.

 

 

THAT'S IT! 

 

By following these steps, users can switch Taobao to its English version. However, some users have reported that certain features may be restricted after the change. It is recommended to assess whether the English interface meets your needs before making the switch.
