Hey @Menelmacar , welcome to the forum. 🙂

At the end of your Collabora Online URL, you can add a:

- `&lang=pt-BR`
  - = Portuguese (Brazilian)

(Notice the ampersand `&`, where you accidentally had a question mark `?`.)

* * *

So, let’s say I had a full URL like this:

- `https://localhost:9980/browser/0621aa482/debug.html`
  - This is the URL to your Collabora Online server.

- `?file_path=/Examples/hello-world.odt`
  - This tells Collabora Online which file to open.

You can now add an optional UI language component at the end:

- `&lang=pt-BR`
  - = Portuguese (Brazilian)

- `&lang=pt`
  - = Portuguese (Portugal)

- `&lang=fr`
  - = French

- `&lang=de`
  - = German

- […]

For a basic list of HTML Language codes, see:

Currently, Collabora Online’s UI is translated into ~82 languages:

(Of course, more translations are always welcome! 🙂 )
