SmartSuite is available in 16 languages. Changing your language changes the system text, such as menus, labels and help text, but it never translates the data you entered.

Each member picks their own language, time zone and locale. New profiles start with the workspace defaults.

Example: a compliance team has control owners in Kyiv and Paris. Each sets SmartSuite to Ukrainian or French, while the control records stay in English as they were written.

What changes when I switch languages?

All SmartSuite system text changes to the language you pick:

Text labels.
Menu items.
Help text.
Other text the system creates.

Note: Changing the language does not translate data, text or field names that people entered. SmartSuite does not translate text or convert currencies; it only formats them by locale.
