If you’re using the Tor browser and don’t like the default language, it’s easy to switch between the different languages available in the browser. We’ll show you how to do this on both your desktop computer and your Android phone.
Later, if you prefer, you can return to the default language.

Change Tor Browser Language on Desktop
To have Tor use a different language on your desktop, first launch the Tor application on your computer.
In the upper right corner of Tor, click on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines).
In the menu that opens, select “Settings”.
In the settings, scroll down to the “Language” section. Here, click on the drop-down menu for your current language and choose “Search for more languages”.
A “Tor Browser Language Settings” box will open. At the bottom of this box, click the “Select a language to add” drop-down menu.
In the list of languages, select the language in which you want to use Tor. Then, next to the drop-down menu, choose “Add”.
If you are using the selected language for the first time, allow Tor to download language files. When this is done, you will see your new language appear in the box.
Close the box by clicking “OK” at the bottom.
Back on the settings page, to apply your changes, click the “Apply and restart” button.
Tor will close and reopen, and you will now see it using the language you just selected.
And that’s all there is to it. Happy browsing in your preferred language!
