How to Change the Language of the Plesk Panel in Plesk Obsidian

By default, Plesk Obsidian on Cloud Servers is set to English, but did you know you can switch to another language? If you or your users prefer a different language, Plesk makes it easy to update the interface with just a few clicks.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to change the language in Plesk and ensure the changes apply to all users.

Why Change the Plesk Panel Language?

✅ Improve usability – Make it easier for non-English speakers to navigate Plesk.
✅ Enhance customer experience – If you’re managing websites for clients, offering Plesk in their native language is a big plus.
✅ Seamless administration – Switching languages applies to all users, ensuring a consistent experience across the board.

📌 Important Note:
The Plesk language setting applies globally, meaning all users on the server will see the interface in the selected language.

Prerequisites

Before changing the language, ensure:

✔ Plesk Obsidian is already configured on your server.
✔ You are using the Service Provider View in Plesk. (This is the advanced view with more customization options.)

Final Thoughts
