How can I change the language of my Ghost site?

Set your publication language and translate your theme.

Updated September 30, 2026

  1. 1In Ghost Admin, go to Settings → General → Publication language.
  2. 2Enter the language code, for example fr for French or de for German, and save.

This sets the language of Ghost's built-in parts, such as the sign-up form and member emails. Words written into your theme (like "Read more") come from the theme itself. Many themes include translations; check your theme's documentation.
