LANGUAGE TRANSLATION FOR MESSAGE CENTER POSTS

Message center posts are written in English-only due to the timeliness of the
information we are posting, but can be automatically displayed in the language
specified by your personal language settings for Microsoft 365. If you set your
preferred language to anything other than English, you'll see an option in
Message center to automatically translate posts. The messages is machine
translated to your preferred language, meaning that a computer did the
translation. This option controls the default view, but you can also use the
drop-down menu to translate and display posts in any of the languages we support
for translation. If you select English, we'll revert the message to the original
English version.


BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Important

Before you can choose your language settings for Message center, you have to set
your preferred language. No translation options are shown when your language is
set to English. You can't specify a preferred language for others, each person
has to change this setting for themselves.


SET YOUR PREFERRED LANGUAGE

 1. From the Microsoft 365 admin center or home page, select the settings icon
    in the upper-right corner of the window.

 2. Under Language and time zone, select View all to show the available options.
    Select your desired language from the drop-down menu, and then select Save.
    Microsoft 365 will try to refresh and display the new language. If that
    doesn't happen immediately or if it seems that it's taking too long, you can
    either refresh your browser or sign out and then sign back in.


MACHINE TRANSLATION IN MESSAGE CENTER

When your preferred language is not set to English, the translation options in
Message center are available.

To set Message center posts to automatically machine-translate and display in
your preferred language, go to Health > Message center. You'll see a switch at
the top of the message list view to toggle automatic translation on or off. When
this setting is off, posts are shown in English. When this setting is on,
messages display in your preferred language. The setting you choose will persist
for each visit to Message center.
