How to Change Language in MoMo App Player (Korean to English)

If you’ve just installed MoMo App Player and it launched entirely in Korean, don’t panic. You’re not alone. Many users face this right after setup, especially when downloading the emulator from its original Korean source or using the default installer. The interface, menus, and even pop-up notifications may all appear unreadable unless you’re fluent in Hangul.

Luckily, there’s a simple fix, and it only takes a minute.

This guide shows you exactly how to change the language in MoMo App Player from Korean to English, step by step. Even if you can’t understand a single word on the screen, we’ll help you navigate visually using icons and menu placements, so you can switch the emulator to English quickly and painlessly.

We’ll also explain why MoMo defaults to Korean in the first place, how to change the language inside Android apps running on the emulator, and what to do if the language setting doesn’t stick after restarting. If you haven’t downloaded the MoMo App Player on your Windows computer yet. Let’s do that first.

Why MoMo App Player Opens in Korean by Default

If you were surprised to see Korean text on first launch, you’re not alone, and there’s a reason behind it.

MoMo App Player was originally developed in South Korea and is primarily targeted at local users and mobile gamers. Its default installer, available from many sites, often includes a Korean-language configuration file baked into the initial setup. This means that unless you’re using a specially modified global version, the interface will open entirely in Korean.

In many cases, even if your system language is English, MoMo doesn’t auto-detect it during installation. It sticks with its preset default until you manually change it from the emulator’s settings.

This isn’t a bug, it’s just how the original build was packaged. And since the emulator is lightweight and efficient, many international users still prefer it over heavier alternatives like BlueStacks or Nox, even with the language barrier.

Fortunately, switching the interface to English is just a few clicks away. You don’t need to read Korean, memorize menus, or reinstall anything.

How to Change Language in MoMo App Player (Step-by-Step)

Even if you can’t read a single Korean character, don’t worry, switching the language is surprisingly easy. All it takes is a few clicks inside the emulator’s Android settings. You’ll be navigating in English within minutes.

Here’s how to change the language in the MoMo App Player from Korean to English:

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Launch MoMo App Player: Wait for the emulator to load and land on the Android home screen.
2. Open the “Settings” App: Look for the gear icon, which is the standard Android Settings app. Tap to open.
3. Scroll and Tap the Language Section: The menu will be in Korean, but look for this –
   • It’s usually labeled “언어 및 입력”
   • The icon next to it often looks like a letter A or a globe
   • It’s usually located in the second half of the list
4. Select the First Option: This should be “Language” (currently set to Korean).
5. Tap “Add a Language” or the “+” Button: Select English from the list. Choose your region (e.g., United States).
6. Drag English to the Top: This sets English as your primary language. You’ll see the interface switch instantly.
7. Restart MoMo Player (Optional): Some apps may not reflect the change until after a quick restart.

That’s it! You’ve successfully changed the UI to English; no reinstallation or extra tools are required. But if the MoMo player app is laggy, you might want to check out our best settings for the MoMo player for a smooth experience.

How to Change In-App Language for Android Apps Inside MoMo

Switching MoMo’s system language to English only changes the emulator interface itself, the home screen, settings, and system menus. But what about the apps you install inside it? Some Android apps may still launch in Korean (or another language), even after the system language has been changed.

That’s because many apps detect language preferences at the time of first launch, or rely on their own internal settings. If the app was installed while your MoMo Player was still in Korean, it may continue to display content in that language.

Here’s how to handle that:

1. Go to Android Settings inside MoMo.
2. Tap Apps (usually labeled 앱).
3. Find the app that’s displaying the wrong language.
4. Tap Storage → Clear Data (not just cache).
5. Reopen the app; it should now follow your system’s English setting.

Some apps like Facebook, Instagram, and games have a language setting inside the app itself. Open the app’s settings and look for a language menu. Set it to English if available.

If an app still won’t switch after clearing data, try uninstalling and reinstalling it now that your emulator’s default is English. Most apps will automatically adopt the current system language upon reinstallation.

What If the Language Doesn’t Change After a Restart?

In most cases, once you switch the system language to English, MoMo remembers your choice, even after rebooting. But occasionally, users find that the emulator resets back to Korean after a restart. Don’t worry, this usually happens due to one of three fixable reasons.

Cached Settings or Improper Save

If the emulator didn’t fully register the change:

• Go back into Settings → Languages & Input
• Ensure English is still listed at the top
• If not, drag it up again and confirm

---

Corrupt User Profile

Sometimes, MoMo stores launch preferences in temporary user data. To fix:

• Open Settings → Apps → MoMo Launcher (or System Launcher)
• Tap Clear Data, then reapply your language settings

---

Reinstall from the Global Version (if needed)

If your current installer is built for the Korean region, the language setting may keep resetting. In that case:

• Visit the official MoMo Player site
• Download the English-friendly version (often labeled “Global” or “Lite”)
• Reinstall without losing app data by backing up your virtual storage first

In short, if you follow the steps correctly, you won’t need to change the language in MoMo App Player every time you reboot. Just make sure your settings are saved, and you’re using the right installer version.
