Set your language

Chief settings - the Language dropdown in Settings General
Chief can show its interface in 17 languages, plus an automatic option that follows your browser or device settings.
  1. Click your avatar in the top corner to open the account menu, then click Settings.
  2. On the General tab, find the Language section at the top.
  3. Open the Language dropdown.
  4. Choose a language, or choose Detect automatically to follow your browser or device language.
The interface updates right away. Your choice is remembered for next time.

​
Languages you can pick

Chief supports these 17 languages, shown in their own script: English, 한국어 (Korean), Deutsch (German), Português (Portuguese), Norsk (Norwegian), Español (Spanish), Русский (Russian), 中文 (Chinese), 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese), 繁體中文 (Traditional Chinese), Bahasa Melayu (Malay), Français (French), Italiano (Italian), Nederlands (Dutch), עברית (Hebrew), العربية (Arabic), and Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian).
ℹ️ Good to Know: The language setting changes the Chief interface. It does not translate your chats or files — though you can translate a passage from an answer. Chief answers in the language you write in, so you can ask a question in any language regardless of this setting.

​
Let Chief detect your language

Pick Detect automatically to remove your manual override. Chief then resolves your language from your browser or device settings each time you visit, so it follows you across machines without a fixed choice.

FAQ

The language preference is stored per browser. If you sign in on another machine, set it again there, or use Detect automatically so it follows your system language everywhere.
