Supported languages for LinkedIn Ads sets

Last updated: 5 days ago

When you create a LinkedIn advertising campaign, you can select from one of 35 profile languages for your target audience. Keep in mind:

  • When you select English, your ad set will target all member accounts in the location your ad set is targeting, regardless of the language member accounts have selected on their profiles. Please note, this doesn’t apply to Sponsored Messaging. 
  • When you select any language other than English, your ads will appear to member accounts that meet your target audience criteria and match your language selection.
  • Campaign Manager uses your LinkedIn profile language. If you want Campaign Manager to display a different language, you'll have to update the language of your LinkedIn profile first.

For Sponsored Messaging ad sets: 

  • When you select any language, your ads will appear to member accounts that meet your target audience criteria and match your language selection.

Important to know

The Chinese language is not supported for LinkedIn Ad sets.

When selecting a language for your ad set: 

  • We recommend that the language of the ad and landing pages should match the language you select. 
  • After you create and launch an ad set, you won’t be able to change the language. To use a different language, you’ll need to create a new ad set. 
  • If the language you've selected has a narrow target audience, try removing some of the targeting criteria or running another ad set targeting the appropriate geographic locations in English to reach some of the same people who speak both languages.
