# Set organization language and formatting region

> Set the language and formatting region for users and embedded analytics in your Sigma organization.

Admins can set an organization's language and formatting region in **Administration > Account > General Settings > Localization**.

The account language controls the language of Sigma UI text for users in your organization and consumers of embedded analytics. The format region controls how dates and numbers display across your organization according to the specified region's conventions.

## Requirements

* You must be assigned the **Admin** [account type](/docs/account-type-and-license-overview).

## Set the organization language

You can set the account language to any of the [supported languages](#supported-languages). The default account language is English (United States) (`en`).

To change the organization language:

1. Go to **Administration** > **Account** > **General Settings**.

2. Under **Localization**, click **Edit**.

3. Use the drop-down menu under **Account language** to select your preferred language.

4. Click **Save**.

## Set the formatting region for your organization

By default, Sigma derives the formatting region from the account language when available. Otherwise, the formatting region defaults to United States. To change the formatting region and format dates and numbers according to that region's conventions:

1. Go to **Administration** > **Account** > **General Settings**.

2. Under **Localization**, click **Edit**.

3. For **Formatting region**, use the dropdown to select a region.
