Documentation for JIRA 5.0. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

The default language is set by your JIRA administrator (see Configuring JIRA Options), but you can personalise your JIRA account to use a language of your choice.

To choose a language:

  1. Click your user name at the top-right of the page to open your User Profile at the 'Summary' tab page.
  2. In the 'Preferences' section, click the edit icon at the top-right to open the Updated User Preferences dialog box.
  3. Select your language from the Language drop-down list:
  4. Click the Update button.

Obtaining Additional Languages

If your particular language is not available from the 'Language' dropdown menu, contact your JIRA System Administrator to request them to install your particular language pack for JIRA.

For more information, see Translating JIRA and if necessary, ask your JIRA System Administrator to refer to the Managing JIRA's Plugins page for instructions on how to install JIRA plugins (including JIRA language packs).
