Individual users can choose the language that Confluence will use to display screen text and messages. Note that the list of supported languages depends on the language packs installed on your Confluence site.

The language used for your session will depend on the settings below, in the following order of priority from highest to lowest:

• The language preference defined in your user profile. Note that you need to be logged in for this setting to take effect.
• The language that you choose by clicking an option at the bottom of the Confluence login screen. Confluence stores this value in a cookie. When the cookie expires, the setting will expire too.
• The language set in your browser.
  • Note that your Confluence administrator can disable this option by setting a system property.
  • The browser sends a header with a prioritised list of languages. Confluence will use the first supported language in that list.
• The default language for your site, as defined by your Confluence site administrator.
