safari to use only English
Safari displays always in the local language and that is very inconvenient because I travel a lot.
How to set Safari to only use the English language?

Hi there Lance.scs,
You can follow the steps below to ensure you have English selected as the language you use for Safari:
Choose the language you use for individual apps
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu> System Settings, click General
in the sidebar, then click Language & Region on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Go to Applications, then do any of the following:
- Choose a language for an app: Click the Add button, choose an app and a language from the pop-up menus, then click Add.
- Change the language for an app in the list: Select the app, then choose a new language from the pop-up menu.
- Remove an app from the list: Select the app, then click the Remove button. The app uses the default language again.
If the app is open, you may need to close and then reopen it to see the change.

With that said, it's possible that some websites you visit won't be available in English. You could potential translate them using the guidance in this support article: Translate a webpage in Safari on Mac - Apple Support
Take care.
