Other language settings
Individual users can choose a display language that's different from the global default.
The language a user sees will depend on the following factors, in order from highest to lowest importance:
The language preference set in the user's profile. Users must be logged in for this setting to take effect.
The language preference set in the user's web browser, as detected by Confluence.
The default language for the instance, as defined by a Confluence administrator.
