Changing the language of your Plesk interface

Your Plesk interface language controls the labels and messages you see in the panel. It does not translate your website, change WordPress content or select the language sent by a hosted application to its visitors.

Prepare for the change

Choose from the language packs available on your Plesk installation. The provider controls which languages are installed, and an additional language may not be available for every server. Keep the verified login address and account credentials accessible before changing an unfamiliar interface.

01 Change the language of your Plesk interface

  1. Sign in to Plesk and open Account > My Profile or the profile menu.
  2. Find the interface-language setting and choose your preferred installed language. Labels can differ slightly between versions and user roles.
  3. Save the profile. Reload the interface or start a new session if the visible labels have not yet changed.
  4. When a language selector appears on the login page, you can also choose an available language for that login. Review the saved profile preference if you want a consistent selection.
  5. Check the main navigation and a familiar page such as Websites & Domains before continuing other administration work.

How do I verify the selected interface language?

Confirm that panel menus use the expected language. Your domains, database names, usernames and website files should retain their original values. A vendor extension may use its own language support and can remain untranslated.

If the change does not work

If your language is absent, ask whether the relevant language pack can be provided rather than uploading an unofficial panel modification. If you accidentally choose a language you cannot read, use the login-page language selector where available or return to the same profile setting. Do not reinstall Plesk or change the server locale merely to change one customer interface.
