Applies To

It’s critical that customers use Viva EngageĀ in their native language for company leadership engagement, company-wide communications, and communities. Viva Engage displays UI elements and notifications in the language that's selected in your preferences.

Note:Ā The only exception is Copilot in Viva Engage, which offers complete language assistance for Chinese (Simplified), English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish. Limited support is available for all other languages supported by Viva Engage.

Set your languageĀ 

Viva Engage is available in several languages on different platforms. Typically, your language preference is set when the admin creates your account. Viva Engage adopts the language preference from Teams or the device if you run Viva Engage in a mobile app.Ā If that language is unsupported in Viva Engage, the language defaults to English.Ā 

You can change the language anytime from your account settings in Viva Engage.

  1. In Viva Engage, select SettingsĀ  at the top right.

  2. In the General page, select the Language dropdown. In the following screenshot, that language is English.
