Abstract

A washing machine and control method thereof are disclosed. The washing machine comprises an input unit (100) for inputting control commands to control washing operations, a control unit (200) for controlling operations corresponding to the control commands and outputting state information messages expressed in a selected language, and a display unit (300) for displaying the state information messages expressed in the selected language. Consequently, in a nation where any one of the languages supported by the washing machine is spoken, washing operation messages can be displayed in that language through simple operations, thereby greatly increasing user convenience. In addition, a small LCD making up the display unit of the washing machine makes possible reduction of the area that the display unit occupies and display of an increased number of messages and thereby heightens price competitiveness and user convenience.
