Scrivener allows users to change its interface language independently from their computer's operating system language on both Mac and Windows. On Mac, users can adjust the language for Scrivener specifically via System Settings under Language & Region without altering the overall macOS language, while on Windows, the option is available through Scrivener’s own preferences in the Options menu. This flexibility supports multilingual writers who want to maintain different language settings for their OS and writing software.
