Localization
In the web vault and desktop app, Bitwarden will default to American English. The browser extension and mobile app will default to your system language. The language can be manually changed on the following Bitwarden clients:
Select the profile icon and choose Account Settings from the dropdown:
![Account Settings]()
Account Settings From the Account Settings menu, select Preferences.
Select a language from the Language dropdown.
Open the desktop app's Preferences panel (on Windows, File → Settings) (on macOS, Bitwarden → Preferences).
Scroll to the App Settings section and use the Language dropdown to select your language.
Open the mobile app and tap the Settings tab.
Tap Appearance.
Locate the Language field and select your preferred language.
Restart the application in order to apply changes.
Bitwarden browser extensions will dynamically change to use the language set by your web browser:
