Works oniPhoneAndroid
In Settings
- Open Settings: the person icon at the top right of the home screen.
- Under Preferences, tap Language. The row shows the flag and name of the language in use.
- Choose English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano or Português.
The app changes on the tap and the list closes. There is no button to confirm.
During setup
On the welcome screen and on each question, the flag button at the top right opens the same list. The plan screen has no flag button: choose the language before you reach it, or change it in Settings afterwards.
What the choice changes
Readio’s own screens: setup, the home screen, the library, the player and Settings. The choice is saved on the phone, so it stays after you close the app.
The voice names stay as they are. Amazon’s sign-in page and the Kindle page inside Readio are Amazon’s, so Readio’s setting does not translate them.
The app’s language does not change the language a book is read in. For that, see Languages.
Questions
Six: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. The list in the app names each one in its own language.
No. The app’s language is for menus and buttons. Readio reads each book in the language the book is written in. See Languages.
On a new install Readio takes the first of your phone’s languages that it has. If none of them is among its six, it starts in English. You can pick another under Settings, then Language.
