## Change the language

Botpress use the browser language to detect the user language. This is stored in the `language` field of the user attributes. It is possible to change the language of a user by modifying this field.

See [updateAttributes](https://botpress.com/reference/modules/_botpress_sdk_.users.html#updateattributes)

Example usage:

```js
await bp.users.updateAttributes('web', 'someId', { language: 'fr' })
```
