Changing the phone’s display language does not normally disable an eSIM or change its plan. The apparent problem often comes from renamed menus, a simultaneous restart or another setting changed at the same time.
Do not delete the eSIM or change the language back solely to reinstall it. First confirm whether the travel line remains enabled and selected for data.
NoveSIM travel eSIMs are data-only, so test with a browser and Wi-Fi off.
Quick answer: Search Settings for SIM, mobile data, cellular or eSIM in the new language, then confirm the travel line, roaming and network selection. A language change alone should not alter the installed profile.
Find the renamed mobile settings
Use the Settings search rather than navigating by memory. Look for the equivalent of Mobile Service, Cellular, SIM manager, Mobile network or Add eSIM.
If line labels changed or became unclear, compare them with the dual-SIM switching guide.
Check what changed during the restart
- Confirm the travel eSIM is enabled.
- Select it for mobile data.
- Disable automatic data switching.
- Enable roaming on that line when required.
- Leave operator selection automatic.
A language change may prompt a restart, exposing an existing registration problem. Toggle airplane mode once and wait several minutes.
Check the data configuration
For manual NoveSIM APN entry, use data.esim. The APN value should not be translated or replaced with a local-language word.
If signal appears without internet, use the connection checklist. If the eSIM toggle itself is unavailable, review why the line cannot be enabled.
When to restore the previous language
Change it back only if navigation is preventing accurate troubleshooting. It is not a technical repair for an expired plan, unsupported network or incorrect APN.

FAQ
Can language settings delete an eSIM?
No. Changing display language does not normally remove the cellular profile.
Why did the menu name change?
System labels are translated and may also differ by manufacturer or software version.
Should I change the APN into the new language?
No. For NoveSIM manual setup, the APN remains data.esim.
Should I reinstall the eSIM?
No. Verify the existing line and settings first.
Final Recommendation
Treat the language change as a navigation issue or timing clue, not a direct cause of profile failure.
Locate the translated SIM menus and restore the correct line, roaming, network and APN settings without deleting the eSIM.
