How To Change System Language On Mac !
If you're looking to use your Mac in a different language, whether for accessibility, personal preference, or multilingual use, macOS makes it easy to change the entire system language. This tutorial will guide you step-by-step on how to change the system language on any Mac, including the latest M4 Mac Mini running macOS Ventura or later.
To begin, click the Apple logo at the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Settings" (in older macOS versions, this might appear as "System Preferences"). Once you're in the settings panel, navigate to the "General" tab on the left-hand sidebar. From there, click on "Language & Region."
Under the "Preferred Languages" section, you'll see a list of currently active languages on your Mac. If your desired language isn’t listed, click the "+" (plus) button below the list. A searchable list of available system languages will appear—simply find and select the one you want, then click "Add." macOS will then ask whether you'd like to set this as your primary language. Confirm by selecting "Use [Language]" when prompted.
After confirmation, your Mac will restart or prompt you to log out and back in for the changes to fully take effect. Once it does, all system menus, built-in app interfaces, and other default macOS elements will appear in your newly selected language.
This feature is especially helpful for bilingual users or those working in global teams who may need to shift between languages regularly. You can also customize region settings such as date formats, temperature units, and calendar types from the same menu.
