# How do I choose the regional correction variant for each language?

# How do I choose the regional correction variant for each language?

Do you write in American English rather than British English? Prefer Brazilian Portuguese over European Portuguese? With the new **Multilingual** tab, you can pick the regional correction variant for each foreign language, so your suggestions match the way you actually write.

To set your regional variants, follow these steps:

1. Open your **Language preferences**.
2. Click the **Multilingual** tab.
3. Find the language you want to set up in the table of supported languages: **French**, **English**, **German**, **Portuguese**, **Spanish**, and **Italian**.
4. In the right-hand column, open the **dropdown** for that language and pick the variant you want.
5. Your choice is **saved automatically** and applied right away: the flag on the row updates to match the country of the variant you selected.

Available variants by language:

* **English**: English (United States), English (United Kingdom), English (Canada) — default: English (United States).
* **German**: German (Germany), German (Switzerland) — default: German (Germany).
* **Portuguese**: Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil) — default: Portuguese (Portugal).
* **Spanish**: Spanish (Spain).

Your choice is **tied to your account**: it reloads exactly as you left it every time you reopen the screen, and the selected variant is the one used when correcting your texts in that language.

**Important:** two languages don't show a variant menu.
**Italian** has only one variant, so its row stays read-only.
**French** is handled through the existing typographic variant in your preferences, not from this tab.

If you run into any trouble, feel free to reach out to us via chat.
