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.

How it Works

In the My Languages page you can manage existing languages and add new ones.

The first language used in the editor is the the source language for all WalkMe items, the WalkMe Menu, and general settings.

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard establishes a unified code system for identifying languages. In the My Languages tab you can  migrate to the ISO standard. A button displays next to the languages which are not using ISO standard codes, as well as a button in the top right corner of the screen.
When clicked, users can select languages they want to migrate to the ISO standard.
