How to Change Display Language in Microsoft Edge

You can change the settings-on-windows-11/" class="sal-link" rel="noopener" target="_blank" data-sal-id="38487">Microsoft Edge display language by adjusting its settings within the browser itself.

Microsoft Edge is the default browser for Windows 11 and 12, and changing its display language affects the buttons, menus, and settings you see. This is different from the “Offer to translate pages” setting, which modifies the text on websites you visit.

Many users prefer their browser interface in their native language for easier navigation. Adding a new display language to Edge also allows it to better understand and potentially translate web pages automatically.

After you select a new language, you’ll need to restart Microsoft Edge for the changes to take effect. Your browser menus, settings, and buttons will then appear in your chosen language.

Change the language Edge is displayed in

You can add several languages to Microsoft Edge. Once added, you can switch your browser to use any of them.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Microsoft Edge browser.
2. Click the Settings and more (three dots) menu in the top right corner.
3. Select Settings.
4. On the left sidebar, click Languages.

1. On the right, find the Preferred languages section.
2. Click the three dots next to the language you want to use.
3. Select Display Microsoft Edge in this language.

Edge will ask you to restart. Click the Restart button to save your changes.

Using Edge’s Built-in Translation and AI Features

Edge is great for non-native speakers. If you visit a page in a foreign language, look for the translation icon in the address bar. This will translate the entire page for you instantly.

You can also use the integrated AI features. Highlight any text on a website, and the AI sidebar can summarize, rewrite, or explain the content in your preferred language. This makes browsing the global web much faster and easier.

Conclusion

Customizing your language settings makes browsing more comfortable. By adding languages, you can switch your interface and use AI tools to bridge the gap between different languages. These steps ensure your browser works exactly how you need it to.
