|Hello~I am your der (De'er). I am a digital enthusiast who enjoys discussing current affairs and exploring cost-effective things. Let's take a look!


Recently, I received a private message from my friend, wondering why many people like to set their phone language to Traditional Chinese or English?

Some people say that others may be Hongkongers people, and it is not normal to use traditional Chinese and English; Some people say that by switching the phone language to other regions, there will be no advertisements like psoriasis; Some people also say that it may be to install X In short, there are many theories.

So today, I will talk to you about why many people like to set their phone language to Traditional Chinese or English?

1. There are few advertisements, and even none can be achieved

If many friends choose Apple iPhone phones, one of the main reasons is the ubiquitous psoriasis advertisements in the domestic Android phone system.

Originally, domestic applications were quite malignant, with various built-in advertisements. However, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also failed to learn and even added advertisements to their built-in applications. Once they enter the secondary interface, they can see it.

Although Xiaomi has taken the lead in saying that it can be turned off, it has brought a relatively poor user experience to many people for a long time.

If we set the phone language to English, you will find that the phone system and previous third-party applications for "cancer" no longer have "psoriasis" advertisements.

In fact, the reason for this is still a matter of the manufacturer's interests, according to der.

It should be noted that many domestic applications target Chinese users, while there are foreign users, but there are relatively few. If domestic manufacturers want to earn more money, they must advertise in crowded areas. Therefore, when advertising, they mostly target users in mainland China, while foreign users are relatively few, and some simply do not invest.

So we set the phone language to Traditional Chinese or English, which means we are not the target audience for the application, that is, the interface in English or other languages with less advertising.

However, der found exceptions as well.

Like the Huawei mobile phone that many people like to use, I don't know whether it is the reason for the update of the Hongmeng system. It doesn't follow the routine. You can switch the mobile phone language to English at will, and the system level application advertisements still accompany you.

It is said that it seems to be labeled based on the region of the Huawei account or the OEM region of the phone, which means that the phone you purchased is produced by a domestic factory. It may be based on the regional code of your phone to push advertisements.

2. The interface is simple and beautiful

Many people open domestic "cancer" third-party applications, and will always find a taxi hailing software with built-in wallet, finance, recharging, games and other functions. The degree of overstaffing will not be roast. If manufacturers want you to use it, they will inevitably push various advertisements for you.

Just like OO taxi hailing, the Chinese interface features various psoriasis advertisements such as "XX God Coupon", "X Day Fruit Planting", "Discount Refueling", "Borrowing Money", etc. The entire page looks diverse.

But once you set your phone language to English, the application will also follow suit and you will find that at this moment, the taxi app will return to its "purest" time - only the simple taxi function.

In addition to the simple and beautiful interface, some applications will also take account of users in other areas, and even provide more preferential activities for users in other areas. If we change our mobile phone language to English, we may sometimes avoid being familiar with Big data and get better discounts.

However, the reason why it is so concise is probably similar to the principle of advertising placement above. Since manufacturers feel that there are few users in the external area and do not advertise, then as a working program ape, they will naturally not be so diligent. Just lazy and do the most basic functions well.

Of course, if viewed in large terms, the interface can be simple and beautiful, but when viewed in detail, it will appear more natural in terms of visual details.

Many overseas applications used by some friends basically follow the norms of English as a common language. Although Chinese translation can be chosen, there is no adaptation in details such as font shape and layout design, only translation. Therefore, it is often seen that the font shape is inconsistent and the gaps are abrupt.

And when set to English, the font shape and layout design can be said to be "authentic" display, especially for some design masters, who finally no longer have to "force to death OCD".

3. The Chinese translation of some applications is not feasible

Some manufacturers, on the surface, value the domestic market, but in reality, the localization of domestic applications is not very attentive.

That's right, it's Samsung's OneUI!

Der has used the Samsung S20 machine before, and some official applications from Samsung, such as the Chinese version of Guoxing, are very perfunctory. It can even be said that it is not excessive to use a machine to translate. Like the Stockmanager who has been much complained about by everyone, the translation of Samsung OneUI is the stock manager If there is any translation such as a good ball, an application that will not die, it will no longer roast.

However, things like OneUI are okay, at least not affecting the user experience. Although Amazon provides a Chinese interface, the translation of the products is really poor

3. Confidentiality

For privacy conscious friends, they don't like others watching their phones or even their content.

Changing the phone language to English or other languages, apart from displaying some applications as Chinese, can to some extent play a confidentiality role, after all, many people may not fully understand English, let alone other languages such as Japanese.

But in the eyes of many people, if Chinese is input into the entire English interface, they will feel that you are installing X.

4. Learning English

Der knows that this reason is a bit farfetched, but it's not impossible either.

You should know that in today's society, many people will learn an additional language in their spare time. In addition to daily learning, the simplest practical operation is to directly use the corresponding language application and learn online, which is also beneficial for memory.

Finally, der believes that forcibly changing the phone language to English or other languages can often provide us with a better experience, especially in advertising, which looks really enjoyable!

But for many domestic applications, they are written based on Chinese, so once changed to another language, some Chinese translations may be very farfetched, which can actually affect the experience or learning.

So the question arises: If it were you, would you choose to change the language to English?
