All Proton VPN apps (except Linux) are available in six languages. These are:

  • English (US)
  • Dutch
  • French
  • Italian
  • Polish
  • Spanish
  • Portuguese

We’re working on expanding this list.

On most operating systems (except Windows), the Proton VPN app will follow your system’s default primary language (if on this list). If your operating system uses a language that’s not yet supported, the Proton VPN app will default to using English (US). ,

In this article, we’ll explain how to change the default language on the following operating systems:
