Language Support

In this guide

You can follow podcasts in any language by searching using the podcast’s native name or RSS feed URL in Discover.

Pocket Casts’ interface is currently available in Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), English, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Dutch, French (France), and Russian. The mobile apps decide which language to use based on your device’s language settings. The Web Player uses your browser’s language by default, and you can choose a different one yourself. See Web Player Language Settings below.

to switch the Pocket Casts Android app to another supported language, you can follow these steps:

  1. In your device’s Settings app navigate to System > Languages & Input > Languages.
  2. Tap on “Add a language” to select your preferred language.
  3. You can use the grabber icon to re-order the list of languages on your device.

On Android, Pocket casts will determine which language to use for its interface based on the list of languages you have configured — the language you’ve selected with the highest priority that Pocket Casts supports.

To switch the Pocket Casts iOS app to another supported language, you can follow these steps:

  1. In your device’s Settings > General > Language & Region, tap on “Add Language…” and select the language you wish to add.
  2. Then, still in your device’s Settings app, navigate to Settings > Apps > Pocket Casts, tap on “Language” and set your preferred language for the app.

The Web Player at pocketcasts.com starts in your browser’s language. You can choose a different language whether or not you’re signed in:

  • Signed in: go to Profile > Settings > Language and select a language from the drop-down menu.
  • Signed out: scroll to the bottom of any page on the Pocket Casts website, including the sign-in and sign-up pages, and choose a language from the Language drop-down in the footer. The page switches right away, and your browser remembers your choice.

If you choose a language in the website footer and then create an account, your new account uses that language. If you choose a language in the footer and sign in to an existing account within a day, your account’s saved language (Profile > Settings > Language) changes to match it. If more than a day has passed, your account’s saved language is used instead. Signing out keeps the Web Player in the language you were using.
