Language Preferences

Set the preferred UI language. Some formats may follow locale settings.

Overview

Language settings control the language used for UI labels and system text. These settings do not translate content entered by Teammates.

Key Concepts

  • UI language: language for navigation, labels, and system messages

  • Locale formatting: date and number formats tied to language or region (if enabled)

How It’s Used

Use these settings during onboarding. Use them when working across multilingual teams.

Benefits

  • Clearer UI labels for Teammates across regions

  • Reduced misinterpretation of system messages

Setup Steps

What changes

  • Navigation labels and UI text

  • Button labels and tooltips

  • System messages and some notifications

What does not change

  • Tasks, requirements, and comments Teammates created

  • Organization and Project names

  • Custom field names (admin-defined)

Dates, numbers, and locale (if applicable)

Some Accounts also adjust formatting based on language or locale.

Examples include formats such as:

  • Date order: MM/DD/YYYY vs DD/MM/YYYY

  • Thousands separators: 1,000 vs 1.000

Best Practices

  • Set language per Teammate for local readability.

  • Standardize date interpretation for planning and reporting.

  • Standardize deliverable language per Project when needed.

Troubleshooting

Language setting does not save

  1. Try again and click Save if it appears.

  2. Hard refresh the page.

  3. Sign out, then sign back in.

The UI is partially in the wrong language

This is usually a browser locale override or cached assets.

  1. Confirm the setting is saved in Transform.

  2. Hard refresh the page.

  3. Check browser preferred languages.

Summary

Language Preferences control UI labels and system text.

Teammate-entered content remains in the original language.
