By default, the Zulip UI is displayed in English. However, Zulip has
|
|
|
|
|
full support for internationalization, and the UI has been translated
|
|
|
|
|
into many other languages. You can see the Zulip UI in other
|
|
|
|
|
languages temporarily by modifying the URLs using the appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
language code, e.g. `/ru/` for Russian.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can change the default language in the Zulip UI for
|
|
|
|
|
your Zulip account using the following procedure.

**Warning**: Because for languages, only some of the strings in
|
|
|
|
|
the Zulip UI have been translated, you may still see English words
|
|
|
|
|
interspersed throughout Zulip.
