Configuring Site Language Settings

To control the Available Languages for your site, and to set a default language, visit the Site Administration area. Select Settings and then Basic Settings. Under the header International Settings you can select each language you wish to make available. You will also select a default language from those enabled.

Learn more about configuring your site's Available Languages.

Configuring Study Language Settings

If you are running a study in a language other than your Site's default, you can set a unique language for that specific study space.

Changing the Study Language will ensure that administrators and participants who join the study see the platform interface in the target language.

Analysts can customize a study's language during study creation by following these steps:

  1. Create a New Study

  2. Use the Study Languages dropdown to select the target language(s)

  3. Complete study creation by clicking Next.

📌 Note: If more than one Study Language is selected, a subsequent Participant Languages menu will become available. From the Participant Languages dropdown, Analysts can further refine which of the Study Languages should be available to Admins, and which should be visible to participants.
