How it works

  • If you’re logged out and your browser language is a language we support, our site will appear in that language. Otherwise, the language will default to English
  • If you’re logged into Patreon, you’ll experience the site in the language indicated in your Basics settings
  • Our mobile apps will also be shown in our supported languages, based on the language settings of the user’s phone
  • Anything written by creators and patrons (posts, tier descriptions, messages, comments on posts, etc.) will not be translated and will remain in their original language
  • Creators and patrons will receive emails from Patreon in the supported language they've chosen in their settings. Otherwise, all emails will be in English

How to change your language preference

Anyone logged into Patreon on desktop or mobile web can change their language preference in their profile settings — here’s how!

  1. While logged in to your patron profile click on the Settings button from the left sidebar navigation
  2. Then, click on the Account link from the sub-navigation list
  3. Scroll down to the Language preference dropdown, and choose your preferred language from the list of supported languages. We'll auto-save your changes

Logged out visitors can change their preferred language using a selector in the footer of the site.
