I show you how to change the product language across all versions of Tableau - Desktop, Server, Cloud and Prep - following the addition of French Canadian as a new language in 2022.2. I walk through where to find the language settings in each product.

## Key takeaways

- In Tableau Desktop and Prep, change the language via Help > Choose Language, but note the product closes and reopens, so do it without an open workbook
- In Tableau Server and Cloud, the setting lives under your profile icon > My Account Settings > Settings tab, then scroll to Language and Region
- Server and Cloud let you set language and locale separately, so you can keep one language while applying locale-specific number formatting and a chosen time zone
- French Canadian is a newly added product language in Tableau 2022.2
