Editing Help:Preferences (section)

=== Internationalisation ===
* Change the language of user-interface messages. It does not affect articles and other pages made by editors. Note that many interface messages have been customized at the English Wikipedia but usually only for the default "en - English" which may for example add links to relevant help pages, processes and policies. Editors are discouraged from selecting "en-GB - British English" or "en-CA - Canadian English", which make a few spelling changes but omit many useful customizations.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 184#Discourage en-xx UI variants]]</ref> Foreign languages also omit customizations but may be preferred by users with poor English abilities.
* Specify your preferred pronoun in order for the software to grammatically refer to you correctly. This is also visible to other users via certain tools, such as template {{tl|they}}, and [[Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups|Navigation popups]].
* More language settings: allows you to set the language in which Wikipedia menus and fonts are displayed; additionally, an option to set the language you edit in (input tools must be enabled).
