How to Change the Default Languages in Mozilla Firefox

Tell Firefox which language you prefer when viewing webpages

Some websites can be rendered in several different languages, depending on their configuration and your web browser’s abilities and settings. Firefox, which supports over 240 global dialects, provides the ability to specify which languages you prefer to use when viewing web content.

Before rendering text on a page, Firefox first validates whether or not it supports your preferred languages in the order that you specified them. If possible, the page’s verbiage is then displayed in your preferred language. Not all web pages are available in all languages.

How to Specify Preferred Languages in Firefox

Setting and modifying Firefox’s list of preferred languages can be done quickly. See the steps below:

In Firefox, select the hamburger (3 horizontal bars) at the top right corner of the menu bar.

You can also type about:preferences into the Firefox address bar.

Select Options.

In General preferences, scroll down to the Language and Appearance section.

Under Language, select your desired language under Choose the languages used to display menus, messages, and notifications from Firefox by selecting Search for more languages.

In Firefox Language Settings, the browser’s current default language is shown in order of preference. To choose another language, select Select a language to add.

Scroll through the alphabetical language list and select the language of your choice. To move it into the active list, select Add.

Firefox users may still download a different language version of the web browser and install it over the current installation to change the language, but they don’t have to if they run Firefox Beta or Stable.

Firefox Nightly is excluded because strings change frequently in the browser.

  • Load about:preferences in the browser’s address bar.
  • Scroll down to the Language and Appearance section.
  • The current interface language is displayed under language. Click on «Set Alternatives» to add additional languages to Firefox.
  • Select «Select a language to add» and then «Search for more languages».

  • Firefox retrieves the list of supported languages from Mozilla. Click on «select a language to add» and pick one of the available interface languages to add it as a language in Firefox.
    • Tip: tap on the first letter of the language’s name to jump to the letter in the listing.
  • Select Add to add the language. Firefox downloads the language pack from Mozilla and adds it to the browser. If a dictionary is available, it is also downloaded.
  • Repeat the process for other languages that you may want to add.
    • The order of languages determines the priority in which they will be used. You may use the move up or down buttons to change the order.
  • Click on the ok button once you are done.
  • Firefox displays a restart notification afterward if you changed the main display language. The restart notification is displayed in the old and new interface language. Select «apply and restart» to restart Firefox so that the new interface language is used.

The preference intl.locale.requested determines the priority of languages in Firefox. The preference is only available if two more more languages are installed in the browser.

Mozilla hopes to improve the process further in future versions of the Firefox web browser. One possibility that is discussed currently is to complete the migration to Fluent; this would enable restartless language switching and support for non-English fallback locales. Firefox falls back to English automatically if a string is missing from a language file.

Closing Words

The new language changing options in Firefox 65 improve the process significantly. Everything that is needed is included in Firefox or downloaded automatically from that version of the browser on.

While the total number of Firefox installations that have their interface language changed is unclear, it does not appear that uncommon of an operation.

Now You: Did you ever changed the interface language in a browser?

How to Change Language Settings to English in Firefox, Explorer and Chrome

Losing your English Language Settings could happen in any number of ways: By accident or even downloading software without configuring the proper settings. In that moment, it matters little how you got yourself into this little quagmire- all that matters is getting your browser to communicate with you in the language that you understand-English.

So what can you do?

Thankfully, this formatting is generally standardized. This means that you can count on finding the icons and their arrangements in the same spot every single day. Like many things in life, software would be highly cumbersome to use without this basic feature. Driving a car on a highway with constantly shifting traffic rules paints a good picture.

Finding your directions around your browser

It’s worthwhile to discuss the different placements of crucial settings on your browser when you can’t read the instructions. Take care to note the numbering of the different items in the different folders, as this alone will matter once the language settings have been altered.

Alternatively, one can also simply opt to use another browser or to redownload the program afresh.
