Change the app language on Android
The Ody Android app follows your phone's language by default, and supports English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Filipino (Tagalog), Vietnamese, Arabic, French, and Korean. You can override it just for Ody, and your choice syncs to your account so the web and iPhone apps match.
Step-by-step (in the app)
- Tap More in the tab bar, then Settings.
- Find the Language section.
- Tap Language and pick from the list — each language is shown in its own name.
- The interface switches immediately.
- To follow your phone again, pick System default.
Alternative: Android per-app language
Android 13 and later has a built-in way to set a language for a single app:
- Tap Android language settings in Ody's Language section — or go to Android Settings → System → Languages → App languages → Ody.
- Pick a language.
Both routes end up in the same place; use whichever you prefer. On Android 12 and earlier the row opens Ody's app info page instead, and the in-app picker is the way to go.
What changes — and what doesn't
- Your in-app choice is saved to your Ody account, so the web app at app.ody.co uses the same language.
- Arabic flips the app to right-to-left layout automatically.
- Call transcripts, voicemails, and your customers' messages are never translated — they stay as spoken or written.

Frequently asked questions
Does the language change right away?
Yes — on Android the whole interface switches instantly, no restart needed.
Do I have to change my whole phone's language?
No — Ody has its own language setting, and Android 13 and later also supports per-app languages, so your phone can stay in one language while Ody uses another.
