# Using automatic language selection

To get automatic language selection, you must tell your web browser what your preferred language is. How you can do that depends on the browser you are using.

Mozilla Firefox version 0.9 and newer
  GNU/Linux

            Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Languages

  Microsoft Windows

            Tools -> Options -> General -> Languages

  In older version you have to go to `about:config` and change the value of `intl.accept_languages`.
Mozilla / Netscape 4.x and newer

            Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Languages

  Note: with Netscape 4.x you need to make sure you select the language from the available choices. A number of people reported problems because they typed in the language by hand.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
  Microsoft Windows

            Tools (or View or Extras) -> Internet Options -> (General) Languages

  MacOS

            Edit -> Preferences -> Web Browser -> Language/Fonts
