Hi Personio Team,
Is there a way to change the language of the platform for an employee when you have admins rights ?
We opened a new office in a country where all our employees are french speaking people.
Our main office and our account is in English by default.
I would like to know if there is the possibility to change for many users the language settings, without having to log into each profile and manually do it.
Thank you for your answer,
Nathan

Hello Personio Community !
I’m glad to say that I found a workaround by playing with the tool !
So as it’s true you can’t do a language bulk change directly in the employee list, you can use the import function to get what you (or at least I !! 😊😊) want.
If you are using the Employee template Excel file, you need to use your identifier (email) as your first column, as you should always do.
Then, you can add a column called “Language”.
The authorized value in this column are now :
| de-DE |
| en-UK |
| en-US |
| es-ES |
| nl-NL |
| fr-FR |
| it-IT |
| sv-SE |
| fi-FI |
| pl-PL |
I’ve tried Portuguese but didn’t find the right unicode for now.
Then if you Import your Excel file, even for already existing users ( but be sure to upload the right email identifier ! 😎 ) it will automatically change their language settings.
Tested and approved in our live environment 😎
Cheers,
