How to set up the interface language, spell check, and regional standards?

Answer

Proper software localization plays a key role in the productivity of developers and users working with text in different languages. Configuring regional settings includes selecting the interface language, setting priorities for page translation, and activating spell-checking modules when entering text into input forms or text editors.

To change the interface language, go to the main settings and find the language block. You can add multiple languages to the list and prioritize them. If the primary system or interface language is unavailable, the application will automatically suggest using the next option from the list. Switching the interface language often requires restarting the program to apply changes to all menu items and dialog boxes.

The spell check feature is configured in this same section. You can enable it for one or multiple languages simultaneously, which is extremely convenient for specialists writing code, comments, and documentation in English and Russian. The built-in spelling module automatically underlines errors and suggests auto-correction options in real time.

In addition, an important part of regional settings is managing websites' preferences for content display languages. The browser sends web servers a list of your language preferences via request headers, which allows you to automatically receive versions of sites in the desired language. You can change the order of this list so that the content localization options most familiar to you are displayed first.
