Windows 11/10 comes with a built-in browser known as Microsoft Edge. Edge allows you to add several languages, and further, you can also make them default to view your browser in your preferred language. If you use Chrome as the default browser and want to add or change language, this gearupwindows article will guide you.
Adding secondary language in the Google Chrome browser is relatively easy. Those Windows users who prefer to read and write in a particular language might want to add their preferred language so that they can switch between multiple languages when needed.
