Change Your Profile's Local Language In SharePoint Online

In this article, I would like to share the steps to change the language in SharePoint Personal Profile page.

• SharePoint provides the option to see the display languages, country/regions, and time zone in our profile page.
• If your organization allows it, we can also change our language and regional settings but these settings are applied only to our View of organization’s SharePoint site.

E.g. - If your organization has SharePoint Intranet site and you wish to see the profile page in your native language, you can change your language. It won’t affect the other users.

Follow the below listed steps to change the language in your personal profile.
