Set the default language for new users

{!admin-only.md!}

Zulip has been translated or partially translated into a number of different languages. You can see which languages Zulip supports, and help add support for new languages on Transifex.

If your organization usually uses a language other than English, you can set a default language for new users. This setting will not affect existing users, and new users can still manage their individual language setting.

Set the default language for new users

{start_tabs}

{settings_tab|organization-settings}

2. Under Default user settings, change the Default language.

{!save-changes.md!}

{end_tabs}

Note that users can always send and read messages in any language, regardless of their language setting.
