System Language
You can set the system language of your YouTrack server to one of the localizations that are provided out-of-the-box. YouTrack provides official support for Chinese (Simplified), English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Spanish.
Additional languages that are supported by the YouTrack user community are also available. These languages are marked with a community label in the list. For more information, see Community-based Language Support.

The page headers, menus, and controls are displayed in the preferred locale. For more information, see YouTrack General Profile Settings.
To align the text input fields and all drop-down lists right-to-left, enable the RTL support option. For more information, see Right-to-Left Language Support.
