This tutorial will show you how to add and remove languages to your preferred languages list in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The Microsoft Edge web browser included in Windows 11 is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.

Microsoft Edge uses the same language as your system by default.

You can add supported languages to display Microsoft Edge in, translate pages, and check spelling.

When you add a language, it will appear at the bottom of your Preferred languages list in Microsoft Edge. Websites will appear in the first language in the list that they support.
