Purpose​

Set the language used by the Jira Helper extension for its own interface labels and messages in your browser.

How to configure​

Where to find settings​

  1. Open your board and click «Jira Helper» next to the sidebar.
  2. Open the «Local Settings» tab.

How to configure​

  • UI language: select one of:
    • «Auto» — follows the browser's language preference.
    • «English» — force English for extension UI.
    • «Russian» — force Russian for extension UI.

The change applies immediately after selection. No separate save step is needed. This setting is personal and saved locally in your browser — it does not affect Jira's own language settings.

How to use​

  • After setting a language, all extension UI elements (settings popup, feature labels, tooltips) display in the selected language.
  • When «Auto» is selected, the extension matches the browser's preferred language if supported, falling back to English.
  • Jira's menus and system language are not affected.

Usage scenarios​

  • Non-English speakers: Switch the extension UI to Russian for easier configuration.
  • Mixed teams: Each team member sets their preferred language independently — no impact on others.
  • Browser language mismatch: If your browser is in one language but you prefer the extension in another, choose explicitly.

Troubleshooting​

  • Language not changing: The setting applies immediately. If not, try closing and reopening the settings popup.
  • Auto not matching browser language: The extension supports English and Russian. If your browser is set to another language, Auto falls back to English.
  • Setting not persisting: The setting is stored in localStorage. If you clear browser data, the setting will be lost.
