Setting your System Language Preference

Choose the language Horizon uses for pages, emails, and texts.

New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. On a computer or laptop, choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back from that menu any time.

​

This article covers the language setting on Personal Profile and in the New Horizon account menu. Every signed-in member sets language for their own account.

​

Use it on first sign-in when Horizon asks for a language, or later when you want a different language. For the rest of the profile, see Personal Profile. Finding the account menu is covered in How to find your way around New Horizon.

​

Both layouts are in use right now. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps you see the New Horizon Experience. On a computer or laptop, the older legacy layout stays until you choose Try the New Horizon Experience from the banner or your account menu. Match the steps to the screen in front of you.

If you still see the older legacy desktop or laptop layout

​

On the older all-in-one profile, language sits on a Preferences tab instead of a Preferences tile. The account-menu Language item and the top-bar language icon belong to the New Horizon Experience. The language you choose still applies to pages, emails, and texts on both layouts.
