The language settings on the Moto Z2 Force are located in the Settings app:

  1. Open Settings – Tap the Settings icon on your home screen or app drawer. This looks like a cog/gear icon.
  2. Tap Languages & Input – Scroll down and tap the “Languages & input” option. On some versions this may be labeled “Languages & Keyboard”.
  3. Select Languages – Tap the “Languages” option at the top of this screen.

From here you can add or remove languages and set your default system language.

Adding or Changing the Language

To set your Moto Z2 Force to English or another language:

  3. Drag the newly added language to the top of the list to set it as the default system language.
  4. Tap the selected language and check the box next to “Use as default” to confirm.

The Moto Z2 Force will now restart and load with the new default language selected. Repeat these steps to change the language again anytime.

If You Can’t Access Settings

If you cannot access the Settings menu:

  1. On the home screen, look for a globe or gear icon and tap it. This opens Settings.
  2. Tap the icon that looks like a speech bubble or ABC. This is Languages & Input.
