By default, the service uses the language that corresponds to the selected domain. For example, Russian is used for the **RU** domain ([https://yandex.ru/maps/](https://yandex.ru/maps/)) and English for the **COM** domain ([https://yandex.com/maps/](https://yandex.com/maps/)). You can change the language on some domains, if needed. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Go to the [Yandex Home page](https://ya.ru). 1. In the top-right corner of the page, click on the profile picture and select **Settings**. 1. Click the **General settings** tab. 1. Under **Language settings**, select your language and click **Save**. 1. The setting applies to all Yandex services that support the selected language. If Yandex Maps are available in different languages for the domain you selected, you can switch between the domain language and the language you specified in the settings. To do this, see the language switch at bottom of the map. For example, if your default language is Russian and you open Yandex Maps on the Turkish domain (`tr`), the `ru`/`tr` language switch will be displayed at the bottom of the map. ## Delete personal data {#profile-deldata} You can erase your personal data stored in Yandex Maps.
