The language that Solus uses can be changed with ease to suit your needs.

You can change your language in Budgie by opening the Budgie Menu and then clicking on “Region and Language” in the System Settings category.

You will now be shown the following window. This window allows you to change your language, formatting for dates and times and the language of your keyboard.
