Localization on the Workvivo platform helps you have an amazing experience on Workvivo wherever you happen to be in the world!
- Anything on Workvivo that is not user-generated content e.g. labels and button text, will display in the chosen language. This is based on your browser settings on web, and on your device settings on the mobile app.
- User-generated content refers to updates, shout-outs, etc. Check out our article on translations to learn more about on-screen translations.
Note: At the moment, if you have used Custom Labels for any of your section headers, we continue to show a translation for the default section header value. For example, if you have changed your Goals section to read 'Pillars', the localized version will show a translation for 'Goals' rather than 'Pillars'. In time we hope that the custom label will display the custom value in the original language, rather than giving an unrelated translation. 'Pillars' for example, would continue to show in English as 'Pillars', regardless of the user's language settings.

You can then re-order your language preferences using the 3 dots next to each language.
Make sure that the Language that you want to see in the UI is at the top of the list. e.g. If you want French, make sure that is at the top of the list. Once this is done, the platform will start to come to life in your preferred language.
