I am from Ukraine.
When I open Jenkins in the browser I see all the UI in Russian.
I am running Jenkins on Windows.
However — there is no Russian in Windows configuration «Region and Settings».
Format — English(United States).
Location — United States.
Only the Timezone is Ukrainian — UTC +02:00.
Is it possible to force Jenkins to show the UI in English language?
PS.
I did not have such a problem with Hudson before.
Locale Plugin helped to change the default locale to English.
I changed the language in the configuration of Chrome and now Jenkins is in English

By default, Jenkins uses the default language of your browser, if it is set. To change it, you could do the follow.
1. Download and install the locale plugin:
- From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins
- Click on Availables
- Check the «Locale plugin» and clicks on «Download now and install after restart».
Jenkins will download the plugin and restart if not job has been scheduled.
2. Set the language:
Once the plugin has been installed, change the language using following steps:
-
From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System.
-
Under Locale, there will be a field called «Default Language». Enter the new language. It could be «en» or «ENGLISH».
-
Under the text box, check the checkBox called «Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users».

A better and more simple solution is to just remove Russian from Chrome.
In other words, change Browser Language Settings.
e.g. for Chrome, Go to Chrome Settings -> Language -> Remove selected language.

You have to install the Locale plugin, which is already available but not installed as default, and then under Manage System > Locale insert «Locale.ENGLISH» in java style.

Maybe you can try this
$ sudo languagesetup
and choose 1) Use English for the main language
to change it back.

By default, Jenkins takes your browser language. To change it, you need to install Locale plugin and set proper language to ignore browser preferences. Go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System, find Default Language and set what you need.

Seems like chrome has an issue on this,
It kept sending Hebrew as the first option in the
Accept-Language
on the header
although English was set to be the top-language on the list (Chrome settings > Languages)
Solution
And only after I’ve added some other language (Russian for instance) and set it to be the ‘top’ and then set the English back to be the ‘top’ it solved!

All you need to do is change your browser’s language settings and put english first.

My operating system is windows 10. I want to use English languages for Jenkins UI.
For Region & Languages, I added Turkish and English my default setting is English, however, Jenkins UI is Turkish. If I remove Turkish Jenkins UI looks fine and it turns on English.

I’m using Google Chrome. When I’m using Jenkins (This is remote service, I don’t have control over it) then part of UI is displaying in my local language. How can I tell Jenkins to always display messages in English?

It can be done in Chrome by setting default language in settings, and it’s probably working on other browsers but I didn’t test it.

- Click Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > [‘Available’ tab]
- In the Filter, search for: Locale .
- Click on Locale Plugin checkbox and Install without restart button.
-
After installation is complete:
- Under Manage Jenkins > Configure System there should be a «Locale» section.
- Enter the default language_LOCALE code for English: en_US
- Click on Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users checkbox.

You can use a Chrome plugin to change Request Headers on domain base (I’m using «Header Hacker» but I think there are many other plugins of that kind) and replace the «Accept-Language» header for your jenkins domain to «en-US,en;q=0.5».

If doing this in CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise/Core, you’ll need to get the plugin from https://updates.jenkins.io/download/plugins/locale/ and upload it in ${OpCenterURL}/pluginManager/advanced .
When installed, in Manage Jenkins > Configure System in «Locale» section put en_US
and check Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users as it seems not working without it.
