# Language, translations, and extensions
MuseScore works with your "System" language (the one used for most programs, and generally depending on your country and the language settings of the PC, or account).
## Change language
1. From the menu, select **Edit -> Preferences...** (Mac: **MuseScore -> Preferences...**);
2. In the **General** tab, select the desired language from the drop-down list in the **Language** section:
## Resource Manager
The **Resource Manager** is used to install and uninstall extensions, and to handle the update of translations. To access the menu use one of the following options:
* From the menu bar, select **Help -> Resource Manager**.
* From the menu bar, select **Edit -> Preferences...** (Mac: **MuseScore -> Preferences...**), open the **General** tab, and click on the **Update translations** button.
### Install/uninstall extension
To install or uninstall an extension:
1. Select the **Extensions** tab in the **Resource Manager**.
2. Select the extension.
3. Click the **Install** or **Uninstall** button.
**Note:** Extensions currently include the MuseScore Drumline (MDL) (as of version 3.0) and the MuseScore General HQ soundfont (as of version 3.1).
### Update translations
To update translation(s):
1. Select the **Languages** tab in the **Resource Manager**.
2. Click on the **Update** buttons for the language(s) you want to update.
**Note**: Almost all menus and dialogs will switch to the changed/updated translations immediately, but some won't use them until the program is restarted.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://handbook.musescore.org/3/getting-started/language-translations-and-extensions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
