Setting up Multiple Languages for Firefox using Group Policy
I need to setup a desktop with 4 different languages. All of this works for other browser except for Firefox. I have installed Firefox Quantum 68.9 ESR and trying to use group policy. I have multiple policies associated with groups and languages. How do I perform this with Firefox? Additionally, do I need to install language pack? Thanks

I've moved the thread to Firefox for Enterprise as that is a more appropriate forum for this question.
If you want to install multiple languages for the user interface then you need language packs.
Note that this is different than a dictionary for spell checking.

hello richard.hussain,
Switch Firefox to another language
You can switch languages at any time to display Firefox menus, notifications and messages in a different language. .
# Click the menu button Fx57Menu and select Options. # In the Language section of the General panel, choose a language in the drop-down menu. # Restart Firefox.
To add languages, see the next section.
Follow these steps to add more languages to Firefox.
* Click the menu button Menu and select Options. * In the Language section of the General panel, click Search for more languages in the drop-down menu. * Click Select more languages to add and choose the languages you want to add, then click the Add button. * Use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order or Remove to remove a language from the list. * Click OK to save your changes.
Set an order of preference for languages
If a Firefox feature is not available in your top language, Firefox will display your next preferred language.
- Click the menu button Fx57Menu and select Options.
- In the Language section, click Set Alternatives to open the Firefox Language Settings window.
- Select a language and use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the order or Remove to remove a language from the list.
Thank you!
Thanks Arman, I am trying to find a policy setting to automatically set this up for thousands of users.
Regards,
