optionsChrome.addArguments("--lang=ja");

  • Below code is working for this issue. But still I have question above asked . I need to know why this is happening ChromeOptions optionsChrome = new ChromeOptions(); Map prefs = new HashMap<>(); prefs.put("intl.accept_languages", browserLocale); optionsChrome.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs); driver = new ChromeDriver(optionsChrome) – Primal Nov 18 '19 at 05:35

I think you should call option with setExperimentalOption then add the language. So it should be like: 

HashMap<String, Object> chromePrefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", chromePrefs);
options.addArguments("--lang=ja");

I hope this will work for you.

This is my implementation for chrome / firefox

  public WebDriver createWebDriver(BrowserType browserType) {
    switch (browserType) {
        case IE:
            return new InternetExplorerDriver();
        case CHROME:
            if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_WINDOWS) {
                System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/drivers/chromedriver77.exe");
            }
            if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_LINUX) {
                System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "src/test/resources/drivers/chromedriver77");
            }
            return new ChromeDriver();
        case FIREFOX:
            if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_WINDOWS) {
                System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/test/resources/drivers/geckodriver.exe");
            }
            if (SystemUtils.IS_OS_LINUX) {
                System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "src/test/resources/drivers/geckodriver");
            }
            return new FirefoxDriver();
        default:
            throw new RuntimeException("Unsupported browserType: " + browserType);
    }
