How to Switch to Traditional Chinese on Binance Official Website

One-sentence answer: To switch the Binance official website to Traditional Chinese, click the "globe" icon in the top right corner of the page, select "繁體中文" (Traditional Chinese) in the language list, and click confirm; for the mobile APP, select "繁體中文" in "Profile → Settings → Language". The whole process takes less than 10 seconds. The Traditional Chinese supported by Binance is targeted at users in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau, with localized interface terminology, number formats, and date writing. This article details the switching methods for the web and APP separately, and also covers solutions to common "post-switch issues". For those who need to open the Binance Official Site now, using it along with downloading the Binance Official APP is smoother. iOS users please see the iOS Installation Guide.

Web Switching Steps

Open a computer browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari are all fine) and follow the operations below:

1. Step 1: Enter https://www.binance.com in the address bar and press Enter.
2. Step 2: Wait for the homepage to fully load, which takes about 3-5 seconds.
3. Step 3: Move your mouse to the top right corner of the page and find a circular "globe" icon (sometimes displayed as "EN" or the current language abbreviation).
4. Step 4: Click the globe icon, and a "Select Language and Region" pop-up window will appear.
5. Step 5: Scroll down in the "Language" list on the left and find "繁體中文" (Traditional Chinese).
6. Step 6: Select "繁體中文", and then select "Global" (or leave the default) in the "Region" drop-down on the right.
7. Step 7: Click the "Confirm" button at the bottom, the page will refresh once, and all text will become Traditional Chinese.

Once the switch is complete, your account preferences will be automatically saved. The next time you open binance.com with the same computer and same browser, you will see Traditional Chinese.

Mobile APP Switching Steps

The switching steps for the Binance APP (both iOS and Android versions are the same):

1. Step 1: Open the Binance APP and ensure you are logged in.
2. Step 2: Click "Profile" (the icon at the far right of the bottom navigation bar).
3. Step 3: Scroll down, find "Settings", and tap into it.
4. Step 4: Find the "Language" option in the settings list.
5. Step 5: Tap into it, and select "繁體中文" (Traditional Chinese) in the language list.
6. Step 6: After tapping done, the APP will automatically refresh all text.

A quick reminder: The language preferences for the web and the APP are stored independently. Switching to Traditional Chinese on the web does not mean the APP will automatically change to Traditional Chinese, and vice versa. You need to set it once on both sides.

Will Asset Data Change After Switching?

Many users who switch languages for the first time worry: "Will my balance and order records be lost?"

The answer is No. Explained by technical principles:

• The language switch only affects the text display of the front-end UI.
• The back-end account data, transaction records, API Keys, and API limits all remain unchanged.
• The amount of your BTC, ETH, and USDT will not miss a single cent.
• Historical orders are completely preserved.

You can switch with peace of mind.

Traditional Chinese Language Preference vs Region Preference

There are two easily confused concepts in Binance's settings:

These two are set separately. You can choose "Traditional Chinese + Global", or "Traditional Chinese + Hong Kong". The differences are:

• Choosing "Global": The interface is Traditional Chinese, but the currency defaults to USD, and the date uses the international format.
• Choosing "Hong Kong": The interface is Traditional Chinese, the currency is displayed in HKD, and the date is dd/mm/yyyy.

For most Chinese-speaking users, it is recommended to choose "Traditional Chinese + Global", which is more universal and not restricted by regional features.

3 Common Minor Issues After Switching

Issue 1: Some Buttons Are Still English After Switching

This is normal. Binance's new features sometimes have not been translated in time and will display in English. Usually, the Traditional Chinese translation will be added in 1-2 weeks. It does not affect functionality.

Issue 2: Refreshes Back to English After Switching

This is usually because the browser's Cookies have been cleared. Binance saves your language preference in Cookies and account settings. If you use incognito mode or clear your Cookies, it will revert to the default English. Solution: Log into your account before switching, the preference will be saved to your account, and clearing Cookies will not lose it.

Issue 3: Reverts to Simplified Chinese After APP Reinstallation

Uninstalling and reinstalling the APP will clear local preferences. After logging into your account, you need to re-select Traditional Chinese in the settings once more. This operation will synchronize the preference to your account, so you won't need to select it again even if you change phones.

Common Terminology Comparison for Traditional Chinese

There are slight differences in some terminology between Binance's Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Here is a comparison table:

The terminology in Traditional Chinese is closer to local habits in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as "Login" being written as "登入" in Traditional Chinese instead of the Simplified form, and "Register" as "註冊". Users who understand Simplified Chinese almost do not need extra learning.

FAQ

Q1: Are the trading fees the same for Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese? Yes. The fee rules for all language versions are exactly the same, and differences will not arise due to different interface languages.

Q2: Will customer service reply to me in Traditional Chinese after I switch to it? In most cases, yes. Binance's customer service system records your language preference and will prioritize assigning customer service representatives who can use Traditional Chinese to handle your queries. Some urgent tickets may be replied to in Simplified Chinese.

Q3: After switching the mobile APP to Traditional Chinese, are push notifications also in Traditional Chinese? Yes. Push notifications will follow the APP's language settings. After switching, new price alerts and order execution notifications will be in Traditional Chinese.

Q4: Can I view announcements in Traditional Chinese on the Traditional Chinese version? Yes. The Binance announcement center will display the corresponding translated version based on language settings. The translation of announcements in the Traditional Chinese version is usually published simultaneously with the Simplified Chinese version.

Q5: Can I switch to a "Simplified and Traditional mixed use"? No. The language is a single choice, either Traditional or Simplified, and mixed use is not supported. But you can use different languages on different devices, such as Traditional Chinese on your computer and Simplified Chinese on your phone, and the interoperability of account data is not affected.
