You can change the language used in your community interface. This updates the system text you see when accessing your community account from the desktop app or a browser.

## **Key things to know about language**

Here’s what to know about how language settings work and what changing your language will affect.

### Supported languages

The community interface is currently available in the following languages:

- English

- French

- Italian

- Portuguese (Brazil)

- Portuguese (Portugal)

- Spanish

### How language change affects your account

Updating your account language only changes the community interface. This includes things like menus, buttons, prompts, and other system text.

User-created content, such as posts, comments, lessons, and attachments, will remain in the language they were originally in.

### Where your language preference applies

Your language preference applies to the community interface when accessing that community through the desktop app, web browser, or mobile browser.

If you belong to multiple communities, you will need to set a separate language preference for each one.

### How language works on the mobile app

On mobile devices, **the community app follows the device’s system language** if it’s one of the languages we support.

When you switch your phone’s OS language to a supported language, the app will automatically update to match.

## **Set default language**

1. Open your community in the desktop app or a web/mobile browser.

2. Click your profile photo in the top navigation bar, then select  **Edit profile.**

3. Under the  **Profile**  section, select the  **Language**  dropdown menu and choose the language you prefer from the available options.

4. Click **Save changes**.

Your community account interface will automatically update to your selected language.
