Firefox gives you control over different types of language settings:

  • Display language — the language used for Firefox’s menus, settings, and interface
  • Website translation — automatic or optional translation prompts for websites in other languages
  • Preferred content languages — used to choose the language of multilingual websites (when available)

These are managed in separate parts of Firefox Settings, and they can be used together or independently.

To change the language for Firefox’s menus, notifications and interfaces, see Use Firefox in another language.

Change Firefox’s display language (menus and UI)

To change the interface localization, see Use Firefox in another language. When you use Firefox in another language, every locale also comes with a list of preferred content laguages that affect how localized the content offered might be during browsing. This list can be customized independently of your UI language.

Set preferred website content languages

Some websites support multiple languages. Firefox can request your preferred languages when sites offer localized content. To manage this list:

  1. In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and select Settings (or Preferences, in some cases).Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. In the General panel, go down to Language.
  3. Click Choose next to Choose your preferred language for displaying pages.

    • Use Remove to delete unwanted entries
    • Use Move Up / Move Down to change priority
  5. Click OK.

Firefox will use the top-listed language when available. If not, it checks the next in the list.

Note: This language list is shared with websites, who may try to use it for fingerprinting. Choose carefully what to include and try to limit the number of languages.

Website translation

To learn how to easily translate website pages in Firefox, see Firefox Translations.

Troubleshooting common issues

I still see websites in the wrong language

It may be due to the website’s behavior itself. Some websites may use your session history, IP address, geolocation or system settings to display content in a local language, even if Firefox is set to English. To fix this:

  • Check your preferred content language list
  • Verify you’re not using a VPN that would be chaging your region
  • Clear site-specific cookies that may be remembering language settings:
    1. Go to the site.
    2. Click the lock IG lock shield Fx149UnifiedTrustIcon-Secure icon and click Clear cookies and site data.
