Change Microsoft Edge Display Language on a computer

Microsoft Edge supports multi-region and multi-language as part of globalization. It allows changing the default display language for the menu, options, and settings within the browser to display in the native script.

We can choose the language preferences and adjust the priority of the display language as per our requirements.

In this guide, I have shared written instruction about:

Customize Appearance Language in Edge app

Microsoft Edge has a built-in feature that allows changing the menu, options, and notification languages. We can add multiple languages and also choose our preferences. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Launch the Microsoft Edge browser on your PC.
  2. Click on the More horizontal 3-dots icon option and select the Settings menu.
    Microsoft Edge Settings menu
  3. Switch to the Languages tab from the left menu bar.
    It will open the Languages settings page and display the list of languages added. 
  4. Click on the Add languages button under Preferred languages.
    Microsoft Edge Languages Settings Add Language button
  5. Enable checkmark all the preferred languages from the list, and hit the Add button.
    Select and Add Language in Microsoft Edge
  6. Click on More horizontal 3-dots icon next to the newly added language.
  7. Choose Display Microsoft Edge in this language option.
    Display Microsoft Edge in this language option
  8. Hit the Restart button to make the changes.
    Restart browser after changing preferred browser in Edge

By default, the browser will always display the website in the language that occupies the first position in the pecking order.

Therefore you would have to move your preferred language to the top of this list so that the browser can display the sites in that language. For that, click on the More horizontal 3-dots icon situated next to your language and select Move to the top.

Choose Edge Language Preference in Language Settings

The browser will display all its functionality/menu in English along the same lines. If you wish to change this, then click on the three horizontal dots next to your desired language and select Display Microsoft Edge in this language option.

Bottom Line

The Microsoft Edge offers the different regional and local language to choose from to set as the display and settings menu. We can add more than one language and set the priority preference.

It also offers the translation feature that automatically translate the page content into desired selection.
