Change language

Yandex Maps can be displayed in different languages (for example, in Russian or English).

By default, the service uses the language that corresponds to the selected domain. For example, the Russian language is used on the RU domain (https://yandex.ru/maps) and English is used on the COM domain (https://yandex.com/maps).

You can change the language on some domains.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Yandex Home page.

  2. In the top-right corner of the page, click on the profile picture and select Settings.

  3. Click the General settings tab.

  4. Under Language settings, select your language and click Save.

  5. The setting applies to all Yandex services that support the selected language.

    If Yandex Maps are available in different languages for the domain you selected, you can switch between the domain language and the language you specified in the settings. To do this, see the language switch at bottom of the map.

    For example, if your default language is Russian and you open Yandex Maps on the Ukrainian domain (ua), the ru/ua language switch will be displayed at the bottom of the map.
