Selecting the Software and Vault Language
You can change the M-Files software language and the vault language. The software language is used in the texts and labels that you see in M-Files. For example, button texts, dialog titles, and warning messages. The vault language is used as the metadata structure language, which is always vault-specific.
To change the software and the vault language in the classic M-Files Desktop:

-
Click
.Result:The Change Language dialog is opened.
- Use the Software language drop-down menu to change the language of the M-Files user interface.
-
Use the Vault language drop-down menu to change the language of the current
vault.
The vault language selection contains all languages that the document vault has been translated into.
- Click OK to change the languages and to close the Change Language dialog.
Changing the User-Specific Default Vault Language
Administrators can also change the default language of a vault for a specific user. The selected default language can be any of the vault languages. If neither the user nor the administrator changes the vault language, M-Files will use the vault source language as the default.
