11.2 Localizing the Preferred Language of the User

Identity Governance displays content in the user interface based on the browser language setting but localizes emails according to the collected preferred language of the user. For example, when the preferred language is set to Spanish (es), a Spanish email template is available, and the browser language is set to English, the user interface of Identity Governance is rendered in English and all emails are in Spanish.

If the preferred language value is not collected or if the preferred language is not supported, then the email is delivered in the default language of Identity Governance.

Be aware that Identity Governance cannot always reconcile the differences in language that occur when different users collect data and run reports on the collection. For example, a user in Spain runs a collection for a set of data. Then a user in Russia runs a report against that collection. The fields in the report appear in Russian since that is the report user’s default language. However, the reported data is in Spanish because the collection occurred on a computer with Spanish as the default language.

The following is a list of the languages Identity Governance localizes:

You can customize the content in the provided languages. Alternatively, you can apply a new language to Identity Governance and OSP.
