Good suggestion! I second this. Don’t need it myself so won’t spend a precious vote however.

I do second this too (and I just voted for it). But the feature request should have a wider scope: one could also be able to switfly change the language in browser extensions.
(I’m a new user… and being unable to change the language is the biggest drawback in my daily use of BW).

I would also really like this!
Some translations just aren’t as clear as the english version / sometimes it doesn’t make sense to translate some words like “host” from english to another language.

I hope this feature will be added to the roadmap. Most apps these days do have an in app language selector.

New Bitwarden user. Recent open source lover too. Seeing my native language in an app like Bitwarden makes me annoyed to the point, that I consider changing my system language only for this reason. For some reason it is not the only time I have seen open source software follow system language only.
