1. Download and install the locale plugin:
- From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins
- Click on Availables

Jenkins will download the plugin and restart if not job has been scheduled.
2. Set the language:
Once the plugin has been installed, change the language using following steps:
-
From the main page of Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System.
-
Under Locale, there will be a field called “Default Language”. Enter the new language. It could be “en” or “ENGLISH”.
-
Under the text box, check the checkBox called “Ignore browser preference and force this language to all users”.
