# Change the Vantage interface language

> Change the ABBYY Vantage web interface language from the login screen or in User Preferences. Vantage supports 12 interface languages, including Dutch (Nederlands).

When you first open Vantage, the interface uses your browser's language if Vantage supports it. If not, the interface opens in English.

You can change the interface language in two places: on the login screen, or in **User Preferences** after you sign in. Either way, the change applies immediately and is saved for future sessions.

## Change the language on the login screen

On the login screen, select a language from the drop-down list in the upper-right corner. The interface switches right away.

## Change the language in User Preferences

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open User Preferences">
    Click your email address in the lower-left corner, and then select **User Preferences**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a language">
    Under **Interface Language**, select the language you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your choice">
    Click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The interface switches immediately, and Vantage remembers your choice the next time you sign in.
