How to Change Display Language in Microsoft Edge
Display language in Microsoft Edge controls all text on menus, buttons, and settings inside the browser. It supports over 80 different languages, letting you pick a new language and switch between them at any time without changing your main Windows display language.
Changing this setting only updates the browser interface. It leaves the language of any web pages you visit exactly as they are.
Change the Microsoft Edge display language by going to Settings Languages. Click the three dots next to your desired language in the Preferred languages section and select “Display Microsoft Edge in this language,” then restart the browser.
Change the language Edge is displayed in
You can change Edge language settings easily by opening the browser menu, going to settings, and adding your preferred language to the list. Menus, buttons, and settings adapt to whatever language fits your workflow best. Adding a new language takes only a few clicks before making it the primary choice for your browser interface.
Follow these steps:
- Open the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Click the Settings and more (three dots) menu in the top right corner.
- Select Settings.
- On the left sidebar, click Languages.
- On the right, find the Preferred languages section.
- Click the three dots next to the language you want to use.
- Select Display Microsoft Edge in this language.
Edge will prompt a browser restart. Click the Restart button to apply the updates.

Full webpage translation bridges the gap when visiting foreign sites. Integrated artificial intelligence tools can also summarize, rewrite, or explain highlighted text in your preferred language to speed up your research.
