What is the Localization feature in Zoho People?

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 259 views

The Localization feature in Zoho People lets administrators translate and customise system terms to suit the language and cultural preferences of users in different regions.

What can be localised

Localization can change terminology across form names, form fields, service names, view names and section names, including any custom terms added to the account.

How to add a language and customise terms

Go to Operations > Data Administration > Localization.
Click Add Language.

Select the desired language from the drop-down list and click Save.

Customise Terms: click the added language from the list to open the Localization editor, which shows the system’s default translated text.

Use the input boxes to provide your own translations or alternate terms, and use the tabs on the left to navigate between sections.

Click Save to apply your customisations, then toggle Enable next to the language to activate it.

Applying the language to your account

Go to Personal Preferences.

Select the newly localised language from the Language section. The page reloads with your custom translations applied.

Things to know

Resetting a language permanently removes all translated terms, including system and user-defined ones.
You can also delete, enable, disable or reset a language from the Localization list.
