Today, I will show you how to change your language preferences in Apple Safari on Windows. Unfortunately, you can’t change the web browsing language settings on Safari without also changing the entire operating system (Windows) language settings too. It is probably easier to install another browser like Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome which you can customize web browsing language preferences.

If you still want to change Safari’s language settings along with your entire Windows operating system language, then continue with this guide.
