How to change the locale in chrome browser

Open chrome, go to chrome://settings/languages

On the left, you should see a list of languages. Use mouse to drag the language you want to the top, that will change the order for the values in Accept-language of requests.

If you still don't see the language you prefer, it may be cookies. Go to cookies and clean it up you should be good.


Based from this thread, you need to bookmark chrome://settings/languages and then Drag and Drop the language to make it default. You have to click on the Display Google Chrome in this Language button and completely restart Chrome.

The "Quick Language Switcher" extension may help too: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-language-switcher/pmjbhfmaphnpbehdanbjphdcniaelfie

The Quick Language Switcher extension allows the user to supersede the locale the browser is currently using in favor of the value chosen through the extension.


Use ModHeader Chrome extension.

Or you can try more complex value like Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,ru;q=0.8,th;q=0.7
