Question about the language

Unread post by funk443 » 2018-10-16, 15:33

Is there anyway to change the language which browser provides the web to display?

I am using Chinese, but I am always watching English sites :crazy:

There is intl.accept_languages pref that controls whats get send in the Accept-Language header. You could try to set it to something like zh,en.

Of course that works only if the site offers a version in your language.
If the site has only english content, setting the accepted languages string doesn't do much.
The latter case is common on sites with user-generated content (e.g. forums).

Preferences -> Content -> Languages section / Choose... (buttton) / "Select a language to add..." (pull-down menu)
The language you choose will also appear in the values for the setting noted above, intl.accept_languages, in about:aconfig.
using the UI

corresponding setting, about:config
