Accessing the WebTrader Language Selection Menu
IB's Webtrader allows the user set the system display in a variety of languages including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
Account holders who need to reset the global language setting in the WebTrader may no longer be presented with the selection menu at the point of login as the setting has been saved by their browser. Outlined below are the steps which are required to be taken in order to again display this selection menu using Internet Explorer as the sample browser.
