How to Change Display Language in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge display language changes the text you see in its menus, buttons, and settings. This setting affects only the browser itself, not whether it offers to translate entire web pages you visit.
You can easily change the display language for Microsoft Edge directly from the browser’s settings. This is helpful if you prefer navigating the browser in a different language than your Windows system default.
Edge supports adding multiple languages, letting you switch between them whenever you need. After selecting a new language, simply restart the Edge browser for the changes to take effect across all its elements.
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.
