This post is regarding how to set browser language for localization testing from command prompt, the localization test is major part of testing activities, but set browser language  and again reset it sometimes  become very complex task for test team.

This blog teach you how to open chrome browser instance with desired language without impacting main browser language or default browser language. Default chrome browser language would remain same, only browser instance will open with desired language.

In manual tests you can change browser language and after reset as well but through automation it is tough task to change and reset browser language.

If you have developed automation suite and same suite want to execute on different language this post help you to achieve the handle localization part.

How to change chrome browser language without access settings are explained below with examples
  1.  Copy the chrome browser location from file system or explorer, in my case it is (C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe)
  2. Open command prompt with administrator
  3. Type on Command prompt CD\ to get back from current directory
  4. Paste browser path on command prompt
  5. Add one space and type C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --lang=language abbreviation
  6. Press enter that you will redirected to browser instance with given language abbreviation.



In above example command prompt will open chrome browser instance with German language. You can change language abbreviation to open instance in changed language.

For example if you want to open browser instance with French language you can follow below example


In above example browser instance will open with French language and that can be check by clicking on customize and control google chrome option at top right side. For example please check in below.




In Automation suite you can create multiple batch file for each browser language and invoke that batch file to launch browser with specified language. Below are steps to create batch file for open browser instance in specific language.
  1. Create batch file create batch file with extension (.bat)
  2. Set browser directory path and click enter
