Language diversity is a big deal for Google, catering to a worldwide user base of cultures and dialects. Your default language setting on Google Chrome may be English, but there are options for folks who don't speak English. Language barriers are removed with a Chrome feature that translates web page text into your chosen dialect. Here's how to change the language settings on devices running Google Chrome, including useful Chromebooks, Android devices, and PCs, all conducted within Google Chrome.
You can change the default language of Google Chrome from the Windows app. If you install Chrome on a Mac or Linux computer, you can only change it from your computer's settings menu. You may need to restart the browser for the settings to take effect. Additionally, the option to display Chrome in a language or offer translations may be grayed out, meaning Chrome doesn't support the language on its user interface (UI).
There isn't an option to change Chrome's language from within the browser if you don't own a Windows, Chromebook, or Android device. The app uses your default settings. If English is your device's language, that's what you see in the browser.
Google Chrome offers a long list of languages to choose from. No matter your first language or preferences, you can break barriers when browsing the internet. If you don't find your dialect among the available ones, Google regularly releases updates for Chrome to ensure users have the best browsing experiences. To enjoy them, update your browser to the latest version.
The default language on my browser is currently Swedish, but I am interested in changing the UI language to English. However, when I go to chrome://chrome/settings/languages and attempt to set English as my default, the checkbox for this setting is nowhere to be found:
I narrowed my search to chrome os vpd. The first result was a pretty dry page in the Chromium source that has a bunch of stuff about datatypes and encodings and whatnot. While I quickly moved on to other pages, it turned out that a more careful reading of this would have revealed useful info!
Beyond proving that the locale change was possible, it showed the power of searching for information and just trying things. The original attempt only took about two hours to get working, including time spent trying random searches and clicking to the second or third page of results.
My hope is that this post is useful to somebody, whether they just want to change the default region on their device or do other fun things with the VPD area. Particularly with open-source software, the answer may only be a short search away!
Is your Google Chrome web browser in the wrong language? If you're using a Windows PC or the Android mobile app, it's easy to change Chrome's default language so menu items, pop-up messages, and other text always appears in a language you can read. If you're using a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Linux, Chrome automatically uses your system's default language, so you won't be able to choose an alternative. This wikiHow article teaches you how to set the default language used in the Google Chrome web browser on both your computer and phone or tablet.
Just to let you know my current language of Chrome is English. However, I do have several other languages inside the setting and English is not the first one. Problem fixed after I putting English back onto the top of the list.
@Design - thanks for the clarification. There is currently no way to independently alter the localization/language of 1Password X. It will inherit whatever the browser uses as its first language. You have Chrome set to Japanese, so 1Password X will be Japanese as well. If you switch Chrome to English in chrome://settings/languages , then 1Password X will be in English as well.
You can change how your start page and other Opera pages appear by applying wallpapers. There are a few preloaded wallpapers in Opera, which you can find in Settings > Wallpapers. You can also access wallpapers from the Easy Setup panel.
In the Easy setup panel, click on a wallpaper to change the look of your browser. If you want to find more wallpapers, click the Get more wallpapers button to go to the wallpapers section of addons.opera.com/. From there, you can browse and install wallpapers created by the Opera community.
I use version 6.0.472.63 and I found Change font and language settings under Customize and control Chromium --> Options --> Under the hood.
This doesn't give you full control (you can only select languages that Chrome knows about, and there won't be a * at the end to make the server fall back on whatever it has available if it doesn't happen to know your language). In the Preferences file in your profile (i.e. typically /.config/google-chrome/Default/Preferences), you can tune the setting more finely:
The language of the user interface is determined by the LC_MESSAGES environment variable, which is the standard setting under unix. At least, this is the case for Google Chrome 9.0.597.45 under Debian (from Google's apt repository); Chromium under Ubuntu lucid seems determined to speak to me in English.
Most desktop browsers have settings that allow you to check or change the language preference settings. These tell the server what language you prefer for pages and resources that it sends you (separately from the language of the browser user interface). See the next section for examples of how to change these settings. However, for browsers on mobile devices (and at least one on the desktop), the language preferences are likely to be determined by the operating system settings, or in some cases by the language of the system when you installed the browser.
Browsers that allow you to change your language preferences will generally allow you to specify a list of languages, so that if your first choice is not available you can say what alternative languages to try, and in what order.
If your browser is set to request a language for a specific region, such as Canadian French, you should ensure that there is another language tag listed after it with just the vanilla language subtag (ie. just French in this case).
In many cases, the initial browser setting will meet your needs. For example, if you have a Japanese version of a browser, the browser typically assumes that you prefer pages in Japanese, and sends this information to the server. The details below tell you how to discover and change the language preferences if you need to.
When your browser pulls a document from the Web, it sends a request to the server where the information is stored. This is known as an HTTP request. With the request, the browser sends information about its language preference settings.
The HTTP request carries this language preference information in the Accept-Language header. If the server is set up to return alternate versions of a page or resource in more than one language, and the language you prefer is available, it will go through a process known as HTTP content negotiation to find content in the language(s) indicated in the HTTP request. If there is only one version of a page on the server, that version will be retrieved. If none of the languages you request are available, the server should be set up to return a default language choice.
Most mainstream browsers allow you to modify the language preferences that your browser sends with the HTTP request. The value itself should conform to BCP 47 (Tags for the Identification of Languages). It is typically a two- or three-letter language code (eg. fr for French), followed by optional subcodes representing such things as country (eg. fr-CA represents French as used in Canada). Regions can include larger areas than countries. If you set Spanish for Latin America, you are likely to set es-419. (Learn more about language tags.)
When the browser preferences include multiple languages, the browser will assign a qvalue (quality value) to each of the languages lower down the list. This is a kind of weighting system that is supposed to help the server understand the order in which you prefer the languages. Here is an example of an Accept-Language header with multiple languages. Danish is preferred. If that fails, British English is requested, and finally any type of English.
Chrome will automatically set this up in the Accept-Language header that is sent by your browser, even though you won't see the vanilla language listed in the dialog box, but most browsers don't. It's best to start by checking what your Accept-Language header is currently set to, make some adjustments, and then check again.
We list here examples of how you would change the language settings for recent versions of a number of popular browsers on Windows or OS X desktop platforms. We use the latest versions of those browsers at the time that this article was written.
Edge. Open the Regions & language page in Settings and select the option to add a language. In many cases, you will be asked to select a region at the same time. Once you have made your selection(s), move or remove languages in the list to establish your preferred order. Restart Edge.
If you choose a language+region combination, Edge will automatically set both a language tag for the language+region and a following tag for just the vanilla language in your Accept-Language request. In the dialog box listing languages, however, you will only see the language with the region. For example, if you choose Español (América Latina), Edge will automatically add es-419 followed by es in your Accept-Language request, although you will only see Español (América Latina) in the dialog box.
