Locale Switcher

Locale Switcher is a Chrome extension for developers and translators that switches the language a tab reports to websites, so you can see how a site looks in another locale without changing Chrome's own language or restarting. Pick a language from the bar, reload the tab, and the site serves that locale. It is free.

Frequently asked questions

Does it change Chrome's interface language?

No. Only the language the tab reports to websites changes.

Will every site switch language?

Only sites that choose the language from the browser's language preference. Sites that use your account settings or the address (for example /de/) do not change.
