What are language codes?
Language codes are two-letter identifiers (with optional classifiers) that represent an employee's preferred language. You can add these codes in the Language column of your employee data file.
How to update your employee data file
Create a new Language column or update the existing one in your data file.
For each employee, enter the appropriate language code in the Language column.
Save your changes and upload the updated file.
Tip: If all employees can read English, you can leave the Language field blank. This will default their preferred language to US English.

After importing your file
Once you import your file, the language specified in the Language column will be set as the Preferred language for each user profile.
Sending Surveys in multiple languages
If your survey has been set up to supports multiple languages, employees will receive survey invitations in their preferred language. When they click the survey link, it will appear in that language, and they can change it at any time during the survey.
Note: Language codes are not applicable for participants using Kiosk Mode. In this case, you can set Kiosk landing page text for each enabled language, allowing participants to select their preferred language directly.
Tip: While Culture Amp strives for accurate translations, it's advisable to have a fluent colleague review the questions and their translations to ensure consistency before launching the survey.
