Languages & Translations

This article is all about the Languages function within Opus and how to change your preferred language.

Written by Ben Brunken

With Opus, users can translate their training experience into 100+ global languages. When a user selects their preferred language, all messages, courses, and modules appear in that language.

Opus also supports right-to-left and vertical languages.

If your team members speak a language other than English, Opus automatically translates training content and messages to match their preferred language.

Updating Your Language in the App

If you want to view Opus in your preferred language:

  1. Tap the person icon in the top-right of the header (on any tab)

  2. Select Language

  3. On the Choose your language screen, select your preferred language and tap Save

  1. Open the Team tab

  2. Search for the user and tap their profile

  3. Tap Edit in the top-right corner

  4. Select their preferred language

From the Dashboard

To update the language for a user in the web dashboard:

  1. Go to the Users page

  2. Search for and select the user

  3. On their Profile page, click the field next to Language

Excluded Translations

Use exclusions to keep brand and product names consistent across translations, and to preserve preferred terms like menu items or your company name.

  • Go to Settings > Languages

  • Under Excluded Translations, enter each company-owned term in the Add Exclusion field to build your list

  • Click Save Exclusions


FAQ

Does everyone need to set their own language, or can an Admin do it?

Either works. Team members can set their own language from the app, or an Admin or Manager can set it for them from the app or dashboard.

Will my company name or menu items get translated too?

Not if you add them to Excluded Translations. Excluded terms stay the same across every language.

What happens if I change my language after training is already assigned?

Assigned content updates to the new language automatically. There's no need to reassign anything.
