How force Jenkins to show UI always in English?

Another way to achieve this:

Install the Locale plugin. You can set the default language for all users, no matter the language configured in their browser.

It can be done in Chrome by setting default language in settings, and it's probably working on other browsers but I didn't test it. enter image description here


  1. Click Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > ['Available' tab]
  2. In the Filter, search for: Locale .
  3. Click on Locale Plugin checkbox and Install without restart button.
  4. After installation is complete:

    • Under Manage Jenkins > Configure System there should be a "Locale" section.
    • Enter the default language_LOCALE code for English: en_US
    • Click on Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users checkbox.

You can use a Chrome plugin to change Request Headers on domain base (I'm using "Header Hacker" but I think there are many other plugins of that kind) and replace the "Accept-Language" header for your jenkins domain to "en-US,en;q=0.5".
