# User specific language

# User specific language {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Xanadu
* 
* Updated August 1, 2024

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

The user has several choices for identifying the language to be used for the instance,
as described here.
To enable user-specific languages, first activate the I18N Translation plugins for the desired languages.

* Language picker at login: If user-specific language is enabled, users see a choice list on the login page to select their language. To control display of the choice list on the login page, navigate to AllSystem PropertiesUI Properties and use the property Show the language select box on the login page to allow the user to specify the language they would like to be logged in with.
* Language picker in the user menu (Next Experience UI): Users can select their language from the user menu by navigating to PreferencesLanguage \& Region. The user menu is located in the Next Experience Unified Navigation.
* Language picker in the System Settings window (Core UI): Users can select their language in the General tab of the System settings window. Access this window by clicking the gear icon on the right edge of the banner.
* Language setting on the user table: If you have users that require a different language in addition to the global language, you can specify a language for them in AllUser AdministrationUsers. If the Language field isn't already on the form, you can [configure the form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1phGIP6~lfwMUKKczOxN0Q#t_ConfigureAForm "Configure form layout to change what appears on the form. You can perform tasks like changing what fields are visible, embedding lists, and adding sections and annotations.") and add it.

The Language field in the User \[sys_user\] table overrides the
default global language for that user's sessions.

Note:  
Setting the language for the system guest user sets the language for both the login page and all users without a user role.
