I recently installed the Google Chrome web browser on a new computer with Windows 10 and was faced with the fact that the default language was English, although Russian was set everywhere in the system. Moreover, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t download the required version from Google. Fortunately, this is not a problem at all, since you can simply and quickly change the language in Chrome to Russian. In this post I want to clearly show this for beginners.

So, in order to change the language in Google Chrome from English to Russian, open the main menu of the program by clicking on the button with three dots in the right corner of the application window. From the menu, select Settings. The following tab will open:

Scroll down to the section Language and click on the checkbox to expand its parameters. Find the link “Add language" and click on it. The following window will appear:

Find the Russian language for Google Chrome and put a tick in front of it. Click on the button Add.

In the menu that appears, check the box “ Display Google Chrome in this language". Next, you need to restart the browser or click on the button Relaunch, or close the program yourself and start again.

Note: As you can see, you can change the browser language without any problems directly in the settings. If you are offered to download the chrome cracker somewhere, then it is a virus and you should not download it.

Allows you to browse the web and use it on native language user.

By default, to display the interface and menu of the Google Chrome browser, the option selected during the initial download and installation is used. Changing it in Google Chrome is quite simple. We use minimal amount body movements. Please note that Chrome option The current one is described in the section New Chrome variant , and, accordingly, the earlier version is in the Old version of Chrome section

In the menu that opens, select “Settings” and click “Show additional…” (they are at the very bottom).

In the settings window that opens, in the “Languages” section, click the “Language and spell check settings” button.

And on this page we set the option we need.

Automatic translation of web pages

Millions of Internet sites are written in foreign languages and the Google Chrome browser (unlike many others) allows you to make a translation almost instantly. You will read everything in your native Russian (if you are Russian). The translation is quite naturally machine-based, but in principle, everything can be understood.

If the web page interface does not match the installed browser language, a translation bar appears at the top. For example, we went to a Japanese site... (initially it is assumed that you are not Japanese).

Chrome (or rather Google itself, represented by its search engine) began to deal with speech already at the search stage. For example, we are looking for the Japanese broadcasting corporation NHK. We type NHK in the search and see.

Let's go to the site.

At the top of the page we see a button on which the language of the page is written, and on the right there is a Translate button, when clicked, a translation will be made. (Google Chrome has more than 50 options in its arsenal).

There are cases that the language may be determined incorrectly, then select the correct option from the drop-down list. Click on the appropriate button and make a choice accordingly. If you want to refuse to translate the page, then click on the “No” button at the top of the browser.

To set the options you are viewing, you can click the button in the top “Settings” panel.

Here you can make permanent settings for this site:

Always translate from Japanese to Russian

Never translate into Japanese

Never translate this site

Isn't this Japanese? Report a bug

About Google Translate

In general, Google knows how to make smart browsers.

This article is for those who actively use Google services and the Google Chrome browser itself. At one time or another, the user wants or simply needs to change the interface language, for example, from Russian to English. In two or three clicks, as one might initially think, the problem cannot be solved: you will have to change settings not only in the browser, but also in different services. Let's look at how to do this.

As we already understood, changing the language on Google is too general a requirement. If you need to completely change the interface language, you will have to change the language in at least three different places:

  • Changing the language in the Google Chrome browser settings;
  • Change the language in your Google+ profile (Gmail, Google+).

You can naturally change the language in the browser in the settings. Having opened the “Settings” window, click on “Show additional settings”. An additional menu opens where you can look for the “Languages” sub-item. There we click the “Setting languages ​​and input methods” button.

In the window that appears, select desired language. Before clicking “Finish”, don’t forget to click on “Display Google Chrome in this language”. All. After you restart the browser, the interface will be in English, but search, mail and other services remain in the old language.

Change language in Google Search

Let's consider one of the most simple ways change the Google search language and the black bar of Google services at the top. We type something in the search. At the top right we see a gear. By clicking, select “Search Settings”. On the left you will see the item “Languages” and select the language you need. Voila, all that remains to be done is to work on the services: mail and Google+.

Change the language in your Google account

Change the language in your account settings, change the interface language not only in Google+, but also in Gmail. Although you can change the same indicator separately in the mail settings.

So, in the search mode, the name, nickname and avatar of your account are indicated at the top of the screen. Click on the “Account” hyperlink. In the "Language" menu, change the settings and save. To see the changes, refresh the page.

That's all. Now the interface language has been changed almost everywhere: in the browser, in Google search, in your Google+ account, Gmail, and even in the calendar. But, for example, in Google Drive and YouTube, most likely, the language will remain the same. If necessary, you need to change the necessary settings in each of the services. The method for finding language settings is approximately the same - there should be no problems.
