Understanding Supported Languages

Workfront terminology is updated for the supported languages with every Workfront update. 

Workfront supports the following languages:

• Chinese - Simplified (zh-CN)
• Chinese - Traditional (zh-TW)
• English (en-US)
• French (fr-FR)
• German (de-DE)
• Italian (it_IT)
• Japanese (ja)
• Portuguese (pt-BR)
• Spanish - Latin America

The language used to view Workfront in your browser is controlled by your browser language settings. Ensure you select a language for your browser which is listed in the supported languages list. 

To display outgoing emails in any of the supported languages, modify your User Locale or Customer Info settings in Workfront. 
You must be a system administrator to modify the Customer Info settings. 
For more information about changing the Customer Info and User Locale, see "Changing the Workfront and User Locales."

You can contract a third party to have the Workfront interface and the outgoing emails from Workfront translated in other languages. These translations are not supported by Workfront and any language outside of the ones listed above are unsupported. 

NOTE When using an unsupported language, be aware that portions of the interface might still be untranslated and will display in English. 

Understanding Supported Language Discrepancies When Using Proofing

The proofing viewer within Workfront supports most languages that are supported in Workfront. 

The following languages are not supported in the proofing tool:

• Chinese - Simplified (zh-CN)
• Chinese - Traditional (zh-TW)
• Portuguese (pt-BR)

Your company must purchase a proofing license for you to access the proofing viewer.

When viewing Workfront in a language not supported in the proofing tool, the proofing viewer displays in English.

If you use the standalone proofing tool (ProofHQ) in a language that is not supported in Workfront, the proofing viewer within Workfront is displayed in English.
For more information about the languages supported in the standalone proofing tool, see "ProofHQ Supported Languages."

Changing the Language

You can change the language in which you view Workfront and the language of the outgoing emails by modifying the following settings:
