You can change the display language in cPanel at any time. The change takes effect immediately and applies to all menus and labels throughout the interface.

## Changing the language

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. In the **Preferences** section, click the **Change Language** icon.
3. Select your desired language from the list, then click **Change**.

cPanel will reload and all interface text will appear in the language you selected.

:::info
cPanel is deprecating this standalone Change Language tool. Going forward you can also set your interface language under **Account Preferences** (also in the **Preferences** section), which will become the main place to manage it.
:::

## Changing the language back

To revert to your previous language, or to switch to a different one, simply repeat the steps above.

:::tip
If you cannot read the current interface because it is already in an unfamiliar language, look for the **Preferences** section on the cPanel home screen and follow the same steps.
