Choose display languages for multilingual web pages

Some web pages are offered in multiple languages. Waterfox will choose a language based on your preferred languages list. If a page is not available in your top language, Waterfox checks to see if it’s available in the next language on your preferred list.

To change the language for Waterfox’s menus, notifications and interfaces, see Use Waterfox in another language.
