How to Change Copilot Voice Language in Windows 11

Microsoft Copilot in Windows 11 uses a built-in voice feature to read answers out loud in over 20 different languages. Changing the voice language stops Copilot from guessing what you say and makes sure it always speaks the right language back to you.

You can set this up through your web browser or your main Windows settings so your voice chats sound natural every time.

⚡ Quick Answer

Open the Copilot app or website, click Preferences, and select your desired language from the dropdown menu. You can also change this during a voice conversation by clicking the gear icon or within Microsoft Edge settings. Auto-detect is the default option.

  2. Sign in with your Microsoft account if you want to save your settings.
  3. In the app (full view), click the Account button on the left side. Then click Sign in.
  4. Click Preferences on the left side. Pick a voice language from the dropdown menu. Auto-detect is the default.
