Jenkins in Windows shows UI in russian language

Question

I am from Ukraine.
When I open Jenkins in the browser I see all the UI in Russian.
I am running Jenkins on Windows.

However - there is no Russian in Windows configuration "Region and Settings". Format - English(United States). Location - United States. Only the Timezone is Ukrainian - UTC +02:00.

Is it possible to force Jenkins to show the UI in English language?

PS. I did not have such a problem with Hudson before.

Locale Plugin helped to change the default locale to English.

I changed the language in the configuration of Chrome and now Jenkins is in English :)

Answer 1

By default, Jenkins uses the default language of your browser, if it is set. To change it, you could do the follow.

1. Download and install the locale plugin:

1. From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins
2. Click on Availables
3. Check the "Locale plugin" and clicks on "Download now and install after restart".

Jenkins will download the plugin and restart if not job has been scheduled.

2. Set the language:

Once the plugin has been installed, change the language using following steps:

1. From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System.

2. Under Locale, there will be a field called "Default Language". Enter the new language. It could be "en" or "ENGLISH".

3. Under the text box, check the checkBox called "Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users".
