Change the language of the Zulip app

Note that this will not change channel names, topic names (other than general chat), or the language of messages you receive.

<Tabs> <TabItem label="Desktop/Web"> <FlattenedSteps> <NavigationSteps target="settings/preferences" /> 
  1. Under **General**, select a language from the dropdown under **Language**.
     Languages are marked as 100% translated only if every string
     in the web, desktop, and mobile apps is translated, including
     administrative UI and all error messages that the API can return.
  1. Click **Reload**.
</FlattenedSteps>

Font configuration for unsupported languages

Zulip uses the Source Sans 3 font, which supports over 30 languages. If Source Sans 3 does not support your language, you may need to configure your browser to use a different font or adjust the default font size to properly display all the characters. See the documentation for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for more information on how to configure your browser's default font.
