TipThe language you choose is stored in the browser you are using.
TipUntil you choose, it is Use device setting, which follows the display setting of your computer or phone.
When you finish

What the display language does not change
The display language changes the screen itself, such as menus, buttons and messages, and the language of Help guides. Transcripts and minutes that already exist stay in their original language.
The language spoken in a recording is chosen with Spoken language on the screen where you start recording.
The language of the minutes is chosen with Minutes language under Minutes in your personal settings, or with Minutes language when you create the minutes.
Where your choices are stored
The display language and appearance are stored in the browser you are using, not in your account. Choose them again in another browser or on another device.
If you have not chosen a language yet, the screen follows the language setting of your browser. A link or bookmark whose address contains a language opens in the language of that link.
Joining an invitation saves its language in this browser. When a language is saved, the screen after signing in opens in it, even if the sign-in screen was in another language.
Switching in Help and on the sign-in screen
In Help, switch the language with the globe icon at the top and the appearance with the sun or moon icon. On the sign-in and invitation screens, choose the language with the globe icon at the top right.
What else the same menu does
Open Settings and choose General to check your Display name, Email, Organization and Role. To change your password, see “Change your password”.
When you finish, press Sign out.
If something does not work
The language is back to the previous one the next time you open the app
A link or bookmark whose address contains a language opens in the language of that link. Choose the language again in the account menu and bookmark that screen again.
The language is stored per browser. Choose it again in another browser or on another device.
Changing the language asks whether to stop the recording
Changing the language opens the screen again, so while you record you are asked Stop recording and leave?. To keep recording, press Stay here and change the language after the meeting.
With an unsaved edit, you are asked You have unsaved changes. Discard them and leave this page? Save it first, then change the language.
The minutes language did not change with the display language
The minutes language is a separate setting. For minutes you create from now on, choose it with Minutes language under Minutes in your personal settings. See “Set the minutes language and default template”.
