Language & Translation Settings

The Kudos® platform is available in many different languages! As an Administrator, you can update language settings, and add translations for Custom Badges, Titles, Values, or Qualities for your Kudos® account. In order to use Translation, you must have at least two languages active in your Kudos® account. To add an additional language to your platform, navigate to Admin Gear ⚙️ > Account > Translations.

Click the language you’d like to add to your account. This will add the selected language as an option for users to override the company’s default language for their individual accounts. If a user updates their personal language settings to any of your available options, they will see the basic Kudos® site in their preferred language. Any custom content - such as messages, comments, Announcements, or Spaces – will be shown in the original language.

Otherwise, users will see your organization’s Kudos® account in the default language. You can change the default language, by clicking the default option beside your desired language, shown below:

As an Administrator, you can enable the English Profanity filter by clicking the toggle beside “English”. At this time, the profanity filter is only available in English.
