description: Pretty Prompt improves prompts in your language — auto-detected by default, or pinned in the web app or extension settings.

Pretty Prompt is multilingual by default. Write your idea in whatever language feels natural and Pretty Prompt improves the prompt in that same language.

## How it works

- Write in Spanish → get a Spanish prompt back.
- Write in Hebrew → get a Hebrew prompt back.
- Mix languages → Pretty Prompt picks the dominant one.

With **Auto** selected (the default), Pretty Prompt detects the language from your input — no extra setup required.

:::note
The improved prompt keeps the same intent, structure, and tone cues as your input — it doesn't translate your idea into English and back. You stay in your language the whole time.

## Set your prompt language

You can update your language settings from the web app or extension (both sync always).

### Web app

2. Select the language you want Pretty Prompt to always use for improved prompts.

### Extension

1. Open the **extension popup** — click the Pretty Prompt icon in your browser toolbar, or press `Cmd` + `Shift` + `P` (`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `P` on Windows/Linux).
2. Click the **three dots** in the top-right corner.
3. Choose **Settings**.
4. Scroll to **Prompt Language**.
5. Select the language you want Pretty Prompt to use when improving your prompts, or leave it on **Auto**.
