!!! tip "How to Use a Different Language"

    The language in Starplot is configured by a [global setting](reference-settings.md), which you can set via environment variables or via the settings object directly.


    Example:

    <div class="tutorial">

    ```python

    from starplot import ZenithPlot, settings

    settings.language = "fr" # set the language to French

    zp = ZenithPlot(...)

    zp.stars(where=[_.magnitude < 6]) # labels for these stars will be in French

    ```

    </div>
