Anca Pîgleșan from Cluj, Romania contacted me asking if she can change her Primary Language on her Linkedin Profile. Linkedin is a LOVE OF MY LIVE, but as you I often argue or simply get mad about my love, this happens with me and Linkedin too. Now this is a funny, tricky issue here. Anca Piglesan from Cluj, Romania (a Passionate HR Professional) asked me. I have searched, and got the results. Here you can get the feeling I had. Linkedin has no straight way to do something, but only a WORKAROUND. C'mon Linkedin, this is so Mediterranean, or Eastern European; I mean we have workarounds for everything. But the states officially never tell you what is the workaround, not as Linkedin does it here. ⚠️Changing secondary language to first FYI, this is a plain Linkedin blabla:
To change the primary language of your profile when you have no secondary language profiles:
⚠️Change your primary language when you have secondary language profiles To change your primary language when you have one or more secondary language profiles:
Note: This will prompt you to choose a different language for your primary profile.
⚠️Delete your secondary language profile You can create your profile in a language that is different from your default profile. While you can't change the language of your primary profile, you can create as many additional language profiles from the options available. Having multiple language profiles makes it easier for other members and recruiters to find you. Notes:

Is not possible to create another profile with the same language of the default, therefore is not possible to get into your steps. I cannot change my default profile.

Thanks a lot, it worked! In case it helps, the option to select the primary language is only given when there one profile (primary one, and not any other one).

This didn't work for me because when I try to add the other language, the one on my main profile doesn't show up.

Not working. Deleted my English profile (the default is in Spanish) as recommended in the workaround and when I try to add the other language, the one on my main profile doesn't show up. Please avoid that step! Those are incorrect workarounds.
