Change Your Profile's Local Language In SharePoint Online

In this article, I would like to share the steps to change the language on the SharePoint Personal Profile page.

• SharePoint provides the option to see the display languages, countries/regions, and time zones on our profile page.
• If your organization allows it, we can also change our language and regional settings but these settings are applied only to our View of organization’s SharePoint site.

E.g. If your organization has a SharePoint Intranet site and you wish to see the profile page in your native language, you can change your language. It won’t affect the other users.

Steps

Follow the below-listed steps to change the language in your personal profile.

Step 1. Open your SharePoint site.

Step 2. Then, click on the profile image to open the profile pane, as shown below.

Step 3. From the "My Account" tab, select “About me” to navigate the profile page.

Step 4. When you click “About me”, it will navigate to the profile page (DELVE) where you can change your settings.

Step 5. On the delve screen, click on the “Update Profile” button as shown below. It will navigate to update the profile information page.

Step 6. Then, scroll down the contact information page to see the “How can I see the language and regional settings?”

Step 7. Click the link, when you click the link it will expand and show the "Click here, click the ellipsis (…) and then choose Language and Region."

Then, click “Click Here” to choose the language and region as shown in the below image.

It will navigate to the Edit Details page.

Step 8. On the "Edit details" page, click on the ellipsis (…) to get the "Language and Region" option.

Step 9. Then, select the language from the language section dropdown, as shown below.

Step 10. Once you select the language (here I selected Spanish), click the Add button to add the language.

Select the priority of the language by clicking on the up arrow.

Step 11. Finally, click the “Save and Close” button to save your selected language.

After you click the "Save and Close" button, it will show the pop-up below. Then, click the OK button.

After some time, you can see the profile page with the selected language, as shown below.
