Add or Remove Languages in Microsoft Edge Browser

This article explains how to add or remove a supported language in the Microsoft Edge browser.

The Microsoft Edge browser is the default browser in Windows 11. However, users can switch to their preferred or favorite browser anytime. Edge is based on Chromium, similar to Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers today.

Microsoft Edge will use your device’s display language to render pages by default. Users can add more supported languages to display web pages and native dialects.

The language you added appears at the bottom of the preferred languages already set for Microsoft Edge. Websites you visit appear in the first language in the list that they support.

There are several reasons why someone might want to add or remove a supported language in Microsoft Edge. For instance, if you frequently visit websites in a language other than your device’s default display language, you may want to add that language to Edge to understand the content better.

On the other hand, if you added a language by mistake or no longer need it, you can remove it to keep your language list more organized. Additionally, adding a language can help Edge display web pages and native dialects in that language more accurately.

Add or remove supported languages in Edge

As mentioned above, the Microsoft Edge browser supports multiple languages. You can add or remove supported languages at any time.

Here’s how to do that.

First, open the Microsoft Edge browser.

Then click on Setting and more (Alt+F) three dots (…) in the upper right-hand corner to access the Settings menu.

On the Settings page on the left panel, click the Languages button.

On the right, under Languages, select the Preferred languages tile. Then, click the ‘Add lanagues‘ button.

Then, check the box next to the language you want to add and click Add.

The new language will appear under your ‘Preferred languages‘ list.

Remove preferred language from Microsoft Edge

Once a new language is added, you can remove it by returning to the Languages settings page.

Go to Settings -> Languages. Under Preferred languages, click the option (three dots) next to the language you want to remove.

Then click the Remove command on the context menu.

That should do it!
