## Change App Language

In the Web Vault and Desktop App, Bitwarden will default to American English. You can manually change the language by navigating to **Settings** → **Options** and selecting your language from the **Language** dropdown.

Bitwarden Browser Extensions will dynamically change to use the language set by your Web Browser.

### Don't See Your Language?

If your language isn't listed in the Web Vault or Desktop App, or if your Browser Extension or Mobile App isn't dynamically using your language, **we want your help!**

Bitwarden uses a translation tool called [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com){:target="\_blank"} to manage our localization effort across many different languages (**no programming knowledge required**).
