Jenkins in Windows shows UI in russian language

Question

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 :)

Answer 1

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:

1. From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins
2. Click on Availables
3. 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:

1. From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System.

2. Under Locale, there will be a field called "Default Language". Enter the new language. It could be "en" or "ENGLISH".

3. Under the text box, check the checkBox called "Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users".

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Maybe you can try this
$ sudo languagesetup

and choose 1) Use English for the main language to change it back.

Answer 5

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. You can check the video https://youtu.be/UiikMY1uW1w
