Overview

Bridge supports multiple languages to help learners, managers, and administrators use the platform in their preferred language. Most core platform experiences are fully localized, while some newer features may currently be available in a smaller set of languages.

This article explains which languages are supported and what level of localization you can expect across Bridge.

What’s Not Automatically Translated in Bridge?

The following content is managed by your organization and remains in the language in which it was created:

• Course content
• SCORM packages
• Videos
• PDFs
• Uploaded documents
• Course titles and descriptions
• Custom categories
• Custom skills

If multilingual learning content is required, separate localized versions of the content should be created.

Notes About Language Support in Bridge

• Language availability may vary slightly for newly released features while translations are being completed.
• Existing supported languages continue to receive updates as the platform evolves.
• Users can only select languages that have been enabled and translated within Bridge.
• Browser-based translation tools may translate customer-created content, but this is outside of Bridge's supported localization.

How do I change language preferences in Bridge?

Language preferences can be set in a user's profile or by the admin for the entire account. Click Apps & Settings in the primary navigation and select a language from the dropdown menu. Changes are saved automatically.
