Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Change the Windows client interface language from Global Settings > Change Language, then apply the setting and restart the app.	Office lets users configure display, authoring, and proofing languages separately in File > Options > Language.	Google Docs supports document translation and typing language settings, and document language can be changed from File > Language.	Notion lets users change the display language in Settings > Preferences > Language & Time.	Acrobat desktop provides language-related settings guidance and desktop language support information.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is centralized and the switching path is short. Distinct: the change affects the interface only, not document content.	Compared with WPS: language settings are more granular across display, authoring, and proofing, but the setup path is longer.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on document language and translation than on a single desktop client interface switch.	Compared with WPS: it also supports display language changes, but mobile app language follows system language ranking.	Compared with WPS: language guidance is available, but the related settings information is spread across the Acrobat help structure.

Overall Conclusion: WPS provides a direct way to switch the Windows client interface language when you want a short setup path inside the app. Other products also support language-related settings, but their official guidance may focus more on authoring language, document language, or broader app preferences.
