Amazon language settings: How to change language in Amazon
Step 1: Search for the globe icon.
Open any version or extension of Amazon website (For example Amazon.com or Amazon.in). On the top right corner of the page, near the search bar, the globe icon can be located easily with a two-letter code. The code refers to the language of the website. If there is no globe on your version of the website, then it is probably because you are on one of the Amazon sites that only has a single language offering such as amazon.co.uk which is only available in one language.
