The login screen is displayed in the language you selected the first time you set up your Mac. You can change it using these steps.

  4. Restart your Mac.

After your Mac restarts, the login screen uses the language you set.

If there's more than one user account on your Mac, or you want to change only the language at the login screen, use these steps:

  1. Log in as an admin user.
  2. Open Terminal from the Utilities folder.
  3. Type or paste this command in Terminal:
    sudo languagesetup
  4. Press Return.
  5. When prompted for a password, enter an administrator account password and press Return.
  6. A list of available languages is displayed. Type the number that appears next to the language you want to use, then press Return.
  7. Quit Terminal.

The next time you log out or restart your Mac, the login screen uses the language you set.
