How to Change Display Language in Microsoft Edge
You change your Microsoft Edge display language directly within the browser’s settings menu.
Microsoft Edge is the default browser for Windows, and its display language controls the text for all its buttons, menus, and settings panels. This function is distinct from the “Offer to translate pages” feature, which only affects the content of websites you visit.
Navigating your browser in your preferred language significantly improves usability. You can add multiple languages to Edge, making it easier to understand and interact with the browser interface.
After selecting a new language, you must restart Microsoft Edge. Once restarted, all browser elements will appear in your chosen 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.
