Change the interface language in Kibana

Serverless Beta

Elastic Cloud Serverless projects are autoscaled environments, fully managed by Elastic and available on Elastic Cloud.

Availability

  • Beta

    This functionality is in beta and is not ready for production usage. For beta features, the design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Specific Support terms apply.

Serverless interfaces and procedures might differ from classic Elastic Stack deployments.

Stack Beta 9.5+

The Elastic Stack includes Elastic's core products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats.

Availability

  • Beta since 9.5

    This functionality is in beta and is not ready for production usage. For beta features, the design and code is less mature than official GA features and is being provided as-is with no warranties. Beta features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. Specific Support terms apply.

Unless stated otherwise on the page, this functionality is available when your Elastic Stack is deployed on Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed environments.

This documentation corresponds to the latest patch available for each minor version. If you're not using the latest patch, check the release notes for changes.

Kibana can display its interface in several languages. From the application header, you can select the language you prefer for your current project or deployment.

Tip

If you're using Elastic Cloud, this setting only applies to the Kibana UI of your serverless projects and hosted deployments.

  1. Open the user menu from the header.

  2. Select Language.

    Note

    If you don't sign in with your Elastic Cloud account, for example you use a username and password or a self-managed deployment, this option is on your profile page. To access it, select Edit profile from the header's user menu, then find the Language section.

  3. Select your preferred language from the Display language menu.

  4. Select Save changes.

  5. Refresh the page to apply the selected language.

By default, Kibana offers localized versions for some languages.

On Elastic Cloud Hosted, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes, and self-managed deployments, administrators can enable or disable languages, or turn language selection off, in the internationalization settings.

Browser page translation, such as the translator built into Chrome or Edge, isn't supported. It modifies the page in ways that can make parts of Kibana stop updating or fail to load. To use Kibana in another language, change the interface language using the built-in options described on this page. Text that users create, such as dashboard and panel titles, isn't translated.
