Changing language

[Yakov Levenets]

Hello!

I just wanted to change language to English cause current one was Russian. So I went to Personal Settings. But it turned out that default language is already English. I was surprised!
Shorten the story I managed to change language to English after I had changed region from 'Europe' to 'America' and timezone from '+2 GMT' to '-6 GMT'.

Is this some kind of feature???? If yes, it's VERY annoying!

@Yakov LevenetsIf  you  have set  global  default  language to  English,  then  you  can change  per user  language in  your user profile, which  will  affect  only your  user profile and the global  default language will  be overwritten.

to  see more about  setting  languages,  please see here  Choose default language

Best!

@Moses Thomas Do you mean in 'General Configuration'? https://screencast.com/t/Gw6Us1Kqtw1x

It was set to 'English' everywhere. But nonetheless it wouldn't help until I changed region/timezone. 

[Yakov Levenets]

I mean English was set in General Configuration and in Personal Settings.

@Yakov LevenetsIf the time zone specified in your JIRA user profile doesn't match the time zone of the computer you are working on, JIRA will prompt you to ask if you want to change the time zone setting in your JIRA user profile.

Why don't you understand? Information, you provided, doesn't refer to the issue I described. I solved the issue. Plz, stop spam!

It's not "spam" (unsolicited commercial email), Moses has tried to clarify what was said earlier in response to the information you have added, and suggested further reading.

I have read the link Moses gave, and it looks like it is directly related to what you are seeing, so I am not sure what the problem is.  Could you explain more?

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-Thank You!!!

[Yakov Levenets]

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ok, tell me plz where  and how language can be set?

[Yakov Levenets]

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I am not going to waste my time rewriting the docs or doing a copy and paste from them.  Please read the link given. 

If you struggle with it, then ask again and tell us what you are not understanding.

Well, I think Yakov is having the same issue I'm having. As I understand, we are using Jira Cloud

With the following settings, the UI is a mix of portuguese / english, no matter what languages are selected in general or personal settings

General settings:
Default Language: English (United States)
Timezone: Region: Americas / GMT -03 (Sao Paulo)

Personal settings:
Language: English (United States)
Timezone: Region: Americas / GMT -03 (Sao Paulo)

With this other setting, the interface is 100% in english or 100% in portuguese, base on the user personal settings

General settings:
Default Language: English (United States)
Timezone: Region: Americas / GMT -05 (New York) < or any other US timezone

Personal settings:
Language: English (United States) / portuguese (Brazil)
Timezone: Region: Americas / GMT -03 (Sao Paulo)
