Expert Tips

Go further

You can change your language settings mid-conversation without losing your chat history—the interface will update immediately while your conversation context remains intact.

This is particularly useful when collaborating with others who speak different languages or when you want to share your screen with someone who prefers a different interface language than you do.

Grok's language models perform differently across languages—for technical or specialized queries, you may get more comprehensive responses in English even if you prefer another interface language.

When working on complex technical problems or researching specialized topics, consider asking your questions in English while keeping your interface in your preferred language for the best of both worlds.

The language setting syncs across devices when you're logged into your Grok account, so you only need to set your preference once and it will apply everywhere you access Grok.

This saves time when you regularly use Grok on multiple devices like your work computer, home laptop, and mobile devices—the language preference follows your account, not the device.
