How do I change to Enlglish UK on my confluence page, I installed EN UK and set it as default in BOTH Firefox AND in atlassian AND I rebooted HOWEVER when I reight click on my page, ONLY EN US appears!.....

 

Come on Atlassian surely this minute asks is possible somehow (I've already wasted 1h+ and counting on this...)?!

Are you referring to language dictionaries to correct the spelling? If so, you might need to review the settings of your preferred browser or app. Perhaps you can try Grammarly? It can set the English language to multiple variations.

Hi @[deleted]
No: I am using Firefox and have set it to British English.
The language switcher proposes all installed language packs on all other pages in Firefox. Confluence is the only site where it hard-limit the choice to English (United States) only.
This seems to be yet another bug or limitation of Confluence Cloud, whose support does not care to reach out, preferring to let the nice people of the community handle things amongst ourselves and find our own workarounds... Not very professional Atlassian, (:thumbsdown:)

Hi @Olivier Pahty ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

This is probably a browser app and it is not a Confluence application feature.

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ how are you doing? 
I have the same issue as @Olivier Pahty but with French. My menus and templates in Confluence are in French, and some other tabs are in English sometimes. I want English only. I have added the language in Confluence as per support's documentation and I changed my browser language to English only with no translation options from Google. It still appears in French. Is there anything you could suggest? 

(I even used a VPN with US-based or UK-based IP to see if things would change and it did not). 

Thank you !!
