How can I change the language in 1Password 8? I had 1Password 7 installed on my Windows 11 machine. I downloaded the installer for 1Password 8 and installed it over. The process went well, except that the app language was changed from English (what 1Password 7 was using, also my Windows system language) to German (the language associated with the country I'm in, but not the system language). Now I can't find the setting to change the language to English. 1Password Version: 8.6.1 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Windows 11 21H2 (build 22000.613)

I miss the Swedish and Finnish language of the app. Having the app in English only is not going to work for my parents who are not that good in English. I also had wished a warning that if you upgrade, you will lose the language that you have been using. Now it came as a sad surprise when the language suddenly changed. I certainly hope that you will bring back the broader language support for the best password manager.

Hello @Nicklaslund, Thanks for your message and request for support for the Swedish and Finnish languages. While I can't make any guarantees when or if we'll add future support, I've cast votes on your behalf in each of these feature requests we have open for the product team's consideration. ref: IDEA-I-996 ref: IDEA-I-911

Ah, now I see that it's under "Advanced" and "Select Locale". (Though it's still strange that it defaulted to German, when the OS language is set to English 🤔)

Hi @valentyn235, thanks for letting us know you now have your language setting adjusted to your needs. I'm not sure why it would have set the language that way in the first place, but we'll check this over in our internal testing to learn more about it. And if there's anything further we can help you with, just let us know! 😃

The language of my 1Password installation was also wrong. Under Windows there are three settings that return a region or language setting. The Windows Display Language tells you what language the user prefers his operating system and applications to be displayed in. The Country or Region was introduced in Windows 8 or 10 and is used primarily for content delivery purposes and payment methods. For example, if the Country or Region is set to USA, the Microsoft store will not show you offers that are not available in that region. It also dictates what payment options are available or whether you're allowed to store certain bank or credit card informations. The Regional Format tells you how to format dates and times, digits and numbers, currencies and the measurement system. Unfortunately, many developers mistake the Region or Regional Format with the Display Language, because they don't inform themselves enough.
