# Change a meeting's summary language

Each meeting's summary can be written in its own language. Choosing one
changes only that meeting; **Summary language** in Settings stays the language
for new meetings.

1. Open the meeting's Summary tab and find **Language** on its first line. It
   appears once the meeting has a summary.
2. Choose a language. The one marked (Default) is the language from Settings.
   A note under that line says which language the summary is in now.
3. Click **Update Summary** in that note to write the summary again in the
   chosen language.

**Your result:** the summary is in the language you chose, and later updates
of this meeting keep it. The meeting's title stays as it was; choose **Rename
with AI** from the meeting's actions menu (⋯) for a name in that language. To
change the outline as well, [pick another template](https://docs.recordstead.app/summaries/change-a-meetings-template)
before you update: one update applies both.
