Changing Language Settings in Notion

How to change the language in Notion

Accessing 'Settings & Members'

The first step to change your language in Notion is to access 'Settings & Members'. In the app and in the browser, you will find this in your left-side navigation bar.

Navigating to 'Language & Region'

In the 'Settings & Members' tab, you will find an option titled 'Language & Region'. Clicking on this will lead you to the language settings. This section contains options related to language, and week start day.

Changing Your Language

In the 'Language & Region' tab, there is a 'Language' section. Here, you can select your preferred language from the drop-down menu, making it easy to switch between different languages as per your requirements.

Important Points to Remember

Changing the User Language vs. Workspace Language

While it's easy to change your personal language settings in Notion, it's important to remember that this setting change only pertains to the user's language. This means the interface's language and any pre-set options or menus will display in the selected language for you.

However, the change of language will not affect your workspace language or the language in which the contents of your workspace are displayed.

Conclusion

Notion's multi-language accessibility feature makes it more user-friendly and adaptable for different users worldwide. By following these simple steps, you can easily tweak your language settings and enjoy the platform in a language you're comfortable with.

However, remember that your individual language choice doesn't impact the overall workspace language - a feature that maintains workspace consistency while providing personal customization options.
