## Change App Language
In the [Web Vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com){:target="\_blank"} 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.

- [Learn how to change Firefox's language](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-another-language){:target="\_blank"}
Bitwarden Mobile Apps will dynamically change use the language set by your Operating System.
### 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**).
