In this tutorial, we will show you how to change the language on a Xiaomi TV. Similar to its mobile offerings, the Chinese OEM has stayed true to its root when it comes to the television domain. It ticks mark near about all the features that one could have asked for the price that it belongs to. For example, one of its most popular offerings- Mi LED Smart TV 4A, Ultra-bright LED display, and 1920 x 1080 resolution. Along with that, you also get Powerful 20W stereo speakers, 64-bit quad-core processor, and 1GB RAM + 8GB Storage. Likewise, it has many more TV models, in sync with the budget of its user.

However, there is just one issue that a lot of users are complaining about. When they boot up their TV the first time, all the settings and menu are in the Chinese language.

And for the userbase of those regions, it gets quite challenging in dealing with the TV. If you also fall in this category, then fret not. In this guide, we will show you how to change the language on a Xiaomi TV. Follow along.
