# Display language and Theme settings

### Change Terminal Display Language

You can change the language that appears for terminal operations. The merchant language is the language used for the menus and commands and is separate from the language configured on the customer’s card. For example, your terminal’s merchant language could be English, but when a French speaking customer uses their card, the instructions appear in French.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: The language you set for the Secure Payment application is separate from the language that appears for the terminal's Android operating system. To change the language used by the terminal's operating system, refer to the terminal's configuration and setup guide.
{% endhint %}

#### **To set the terminal display language:**

1. From the main screen, touch **Settings**.
