Android 13 is not yet within reach, but information about an interesting function has already been leaked. Google is therefore planning a “panlingual” setting that multilingual users have been waiting for for a long time. Language settings become more individual.

Android 13: Set the language depending on the app
In October 2021, Google released Android 12 and smartphone manufacturers are working hard to distribute the new version. It will take some time before Android 13 is around the corner, but the first information is already seeping through. Now, “a trusted source” wants to know that Google is the Customize the language settings of apps would like (source: Android Police).
Google apparently envisions the whole thing as users no longer just a system language set on Android, according to which apps on the phone are then based. Instead, bilingual and multilingual people are given at least the option of defining language settings via the app. Android itself could be set to German, while the YouTube app is displayed in English.
Some apps offer their own settings for the language used, but these can only be found in the app itself (such as on Google Maps). With Android 13, the system could have such options in one place centrally available for all apps. Users no longer have to shimmy through app menus.

Google: Focus on multilingualism on Android
With Android 13, Google could continue what started with Android 12. There’s not just one here improved API for translations ready, but at least on the Pixel 6 also the “Live Translate” feature. Spoken texts can thus be translated directly into other languages. You don’t even need an internet connection.
