My Languages

Last Updated November 27, 2025

Brief Overview

The My languages page is where you manage all languages available for your WalkMe content. From here, you can view your source language, add new languages, and track translation details across your account.

You can:

Add a new language: Define the display name, short identifier, and visibility in the WalkMe Menu
Enable machine translation: Automatically translate supported content through AWS Auto Translate
Edit or delete existing languages: Update details or remove languages you no longer need

Use the My Languages page to keep your multilingual content organized and consistent across experiences.
