How to Change Display Language in Microsoft Edge
The display language in Microsoft Edge controls all the text you see on menus, buttons, and settings inside the browser. Changing this language only updates the browser interface and does not change the language of web pages you visit.
Microsoft Edge supports over 80 different languages. You can add a new language and switch between them at any time without changing your main Windows display language.
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.

- 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.
