How to Change Language on Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner: All Ways (2026)

Xiaomi’s robot vacuum cleaners are some of the most popular smart home devices, but sometimes their interface or voice prompts end up in a language that is unfamiliar. This can happen after you buy a device from abroad, reset your settings or update your firmware. Depending on the model (Mi Robot Vacuum, Dreame Bot, Viomi V3) and the application you use (Mi Home, Dreamehome, Xiaomi Home), the process of changing the language is different.

In this article, we will look at all the current ways to change the language on Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners, including models with support for Mi Home and Dreamehome, as well as devices that require manual reset through buttons. You will learn how to avoid typical errors (for example, losing communication with the device after changing the region in the application), which languages are supported by different firmware, and what to do if the desired language is not on the list.

1. How to determine the current language and model of the vacuum cleaner

Before you change the language, make sure you know exactly the model of your robot vacuum cleaner, which depends on the choice of application and available options. For example, Mi Robot Vacuum devices (for example, Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Lite) are configured via Mi Home, and Dreame Bot Z10 Pro or Dreame D9 models – through Dreamehome.

To get a look at the model:

• 📦 Look at the box of the device - the model is indicated on the barcode sticker.
• 🔍 Turn over the vacuum cleaner and find a sticker on the bottom (usually next to the bottom). QR-code).
• 📱 Open the application where the vacuum cleaner is connected: the card of the device usually displays the full name of the model.

If the vacuum cleaner is making voice cues, try to identify the language from them, such as Chinese ("cleaning start"), English (Cleaning start), Russian ("cleaning start"), some models (for example, Viomi V3) support up to 10 languages, and older versions of Mi Robot only 2-3.

2. Change the language through the Mi Home app (for Mi Robot models)

Most Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners (e.g. Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P, Mi Robot Vacuum E10) are controlled via the Mi Home app, to change the interface language and voice prompts:

1. Open Mi Home and go to your vacuum cleaner card.
2. Put three points on it (⋮) top-right → Select the device settings.
3. Find the Language (or Language if the application is in English) section.
4. Select the desired language from the list (for example, Russian, English, ).
5. Confirm the change and wait for the vacuum cleaner to restart (it can take up to 1 minute).

Important: If the list does not include Russian, check the region of your Mi Home account.

• 🌍 Go to Profile. → Settings → Region.
• 🇷🇺 Choose Russia (or Russia) if China (or another country) is in the country.
• ⚠️ After changing the region, you may need to re-add the device to the application!

If the language didn’t appear after the change of region, then your model doesn’t support Russian, and only a firmware with a lot of language support will help (see section 5 for more).

3. Change the language in the Dreamehome app (for Dreame Bot) Dreame vacuum cleaner robots (for example Dreame Bot) Z10 Pro, Dreame D9, Dreame W10) They use a separate app called Dreamehome, which is easier to change than Mi Home, but there's a nuance: Open Dreamehome and select your vacuum cleaner. Click on the gear icon (⚙️) in the upper right corner. Go to the device settings. → Language. Choose the language you want. The new models have up to 15 options, including Russian, English, German, Spanish: 🔄 After changing the tongue, the vacuum cleaner will automatically restart. 🗣️ The voice prompts and menus on the screen (if any) change at the same time. 🚫 If the language is not saved, check the firmware version - update it in the Software Update section. 💡If Dreamehome doesn’t have Russian, try changing your account region to “Russia” in your profile settings.

4 Manual language change through buttons on the body

If the vacuum cleaner is not connected to Wi-Fi or the app can’t see the device, you can try changing the language manually, which works for most Xiaomi and Dreame models, but requires a reset.

Instructions:

1. Turn off the vacuum cleaner with a long press on the power button (usually 3-5 seconds).
2. Press the buttons at the same time (🏠) and food (⏻) on 5-10 seconds until you hear the beep.
3. After the discharge, the vacuum cleaner will issue a voice message in Chinese (for example, “reset successful”).
4. Connect the device again through the app and select the language when you first set up.

⚠️ Warning: This method erases all stored maps of the space and customizations! If you've had zoned cleaning or virtual walls set up, you'll have to recreate them.

5. firmware for adding new languages

If your vacuum cleaner model doesn't support the right language out of the box, you can install custom firmware with advanced language support, which is suitable for advanced users, as it requires:

• 🔧 Unlock the bootloader (for some models).
• 💻 Connections to the vacuum cleaner through ADB or specialized utilities.
• 📥 Downloading the firmware from the forums (for example, 4PDA or XDA Developers).

For example, for the first generation Mi Robot Vacuum, there are firmware with support for Russian, Ukrainian and other languages.

• ⚠️ Loss of warranty (if the device is under warranty).
• 🔄 Possible failures after the firmware.
• 🔌 Need for manual recovery in case of errors.

If you decide to firmware, follow the instructions from proven sources. For example, MiRoBoTool is often used for Xiaomi Mi Robot, which allows you to:

1. Connect to the vacuum cleaner via Wi-Fi in access point mode.


2. Download alternative firmware through the web interface.




3. Select the desired language in the advanced settings.

Frequent problems and their solutions

When you change language on Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners, users experience common mistakes, and here are the most common ways to fix them:

Problem 1: There is no Russian in the list of languages.

⚠️ Note: If your model does not officially support Russian (for example, Viomi) V2), Changing the region in the app won't help. The only way out is to get firmware or buy another model.

Problem 2: After changing the language, the vacuum cleaner stopped connecting to Wi-Fi.

• 🔄 Reboot the router and vacuum cleaner.
• 📶 Check if the Wi-Fi region has changed (some models don't work with Chinese networks outside of China).
• 🔧 Reset network settings on the vacuum cleaner (in the application or through buttons).

Problem 3: Voice prompts in one language and menus in another.

This is because the firmware and the application are not the same.

1. Update the vacuum cleaner to the latest version.
2. Update the app (Mi Home or Dreamehome) in Google Play/App Store.
3. Reconnect the device to the application.

💡

If after all the manipulations the language does not change, check whether the vacuum cleaner settings should have the option "Block changes" (for example, in the child mode).

7. Alternative ways of managing without changing the language

If you can not change the language, but you need to use the vacuum cleaner, there are workarounds:

• 📱 Use a voice assistant (e.g. Alice, Google Assistant) to manage cleaning.
• 🎮 Set up quick commands in the app (for example, one button is to clean the entire area, another is to return to base).
• 📊 Create a cleaning schedule so you don’t interact with the menu every day.

For models with a screen (for example, Dreame Bot L10 Pro), you can remember the location of the buttons by icons, even if the inscriptions are in Chinese.

• 🏠 — baseback;
• 🔄 — clean-up;
• ⚙️ — setting.

If the vacuum cleaner is making voice cues in a language you don't know, look up the audio recordings of your model's commands online, like "pause cleaning" in Chinese.
