When using a CRM across multiple nations, language can be a major barrier especially if the admins and users are from two different non-english speaking nations. To avert this inconvenience, Freshsales allows users to choose a language of their choice irrespective of the language adopted by the admin.
For the same, you will have to understand that there are two types of language options on Freshsales:
Account Language: The language that is set by the administrator and is the default language on the application for users
User Language: The language that is for individual user profiles and will be applicable only for an individual user.
How is this helpful?
For example, let us assume that you work for an organisation that is headquartered in The UK while your vertical operates out of Italy. In this scenario, the Account admin who oversees the operations out of London may set the account language as English. However, as a user operating out of Italy and catering to Italian clients, you would want to use the CRM customized to your geography. For the same, you can opt for user language as Italian.
In this case, since your user language is opted as Italian, all the features will be translated into Italian while it will remain as English for the Account Admin. However, if you have not changed the language, the default language will be the Admin language i.e, English.
If you are looking to set an account language, follow these instructions. If you are looking to set up your user language preferences, here’s how you can carry out the same:
