# Displaying information in your preferred language

You can set the language option of your web browser to display information center content in your preferred language.

## Before you begin

Adding a language to the list of languages for the browser to display does not guarantee that the computer has the fonts required to display the information center content in your preferred language.

For some browser and operating system combinations, you must also change the regional settings of your operating system to the locale and language of your choice.

## Procedure

- To display the information center content in your preferred language in the Internet Explorer browser:
  1. Open Internet Explorer and click Tools > Internet Options > Languages. The Language Preferences window opens.
  2. Ensure that your preferred language is specified as the first entry in the list of languages.
     - To add a new language to the list, click Add.
     - To move a language to the top of the list, select the language and click Move Up until the language is first in the list of languages.
  3. Refresh the page to display the information center content in your preferred language.
- To display the information center content in your preferred language in Mozilla Firefox or other Mozilla-based browser:
  1. Click Choose in the Languages section of the Tools > Options > Content dialog. The Languages panel is displayed in the Preferences window.
  2. Ensure that your preferred language is specified as the first entry in the list of languages.
     - To add a new language to the list, click Add to select a language from the Add Languages window.
     - To move a language to the top of the list, select the language and click Move Up until the language is first in the list of languages.
  3. Refresh the page to display the information center content in your preferred language.
