Change the interface language in Kibana

Kibana can display its interface in several languages. From the application header, you can select the language you prefer for your current project or deployment.

Tip

If you're using Elastic Cloud, this setting only applies to the Kibana UI of your serverless projects and hosted deployments.

  1. Open the user menu from the header.

  2. Select Language.

    Note

    On self-managed, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes deployments of Kibana, this option is located on your profile page. To access it, select Edit profile from the header's user menu, then find the Language section.

  3. Select your preferred language from the Display language menu.

  4. Select Save changes.

  5. Refresh the page to apply the selected language.

By default, Kibana offers localized versions for some languages.

On Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed deployments, administrators can enable or disable languages, or turn language selection off, in the internationalization settings.
