Built for organizations whose members do not all read the same language. Replaces running a separate portal per language. Orgo ships its interface in 14 languages. You choose which of them your members can use, set the default, and each member picks their own from the profile menu. Menus, buttons, form labels and system messages switch immediately. Language Settings page with the multi-language toggle, the enabled-language checkboxes and the default language selector Settings → Customization → Languages
Requires ADMIN_TENANT. The page is a tenant settings route and is not available to local, HR or financial admins.

​
Setting up languages

1

Open Language Settings

Go to Settings → Customization → Languages. The page is headed Language Settings.
2

Turn on Enable Multi-language Support

With this switch off, everyone sees the platform in the single default language and no language picker is shown. With it on, an Available Languages checkbox list appears.
3

Tick the languages your members need

Every one of the 14 supported languages has a checkbox, including languages added after your organization was created.
4

Pick the default under Select default language

While multi-language is on, the dropdown only offers languages you ticked. With it off, the dropdown offers all 14.
5

Save

Saving with multi-language on and nothing ticked is refused with Please enable at least one language. If your chosen default is not among the ticked languages, Orgo silently moves the default to the first ticked one.

​
Supported interface languages

All 14 carry the full interface catalogue, several thousand phrases each. A phrase that has not been translated yet falls back to English rather than showing a blank or a raw key. Note the Portuguese code: Orgo uses pr, not the more common pt.
Only tick the languages members actually use. Every extra language becomes another column to fill in on the Texts page.

​
How a member’s language is decided

Orgo resolves the interface language in this order, highest priority first:
  1. A ?lang= parameter on the URL, if that language exists in the platform. This is how invitation and campaign links can open in a specific language.
  2. The member’s saved preference on their profile, set the first time they use the language picker.
  3. The organization default you set on this page. When multi-language support is off, the default always wins over any saved preference.
  4. English, if the resolved language is not one Orgo ships.
Members change their language from the profile menu in the sidebar (or the profile menu in the mobile header). The picker only appears when multi-language support is on, and the mobile one additionally needs more than one language enabled. Choosing a language applies it instantly and saves it to the member’s profile, so it follows them to other devices.
Changing the organization default does not move members who already picked a language. It affects new members and anyone who never chose.

​
What is and is not translated

Email localisation is the one place where the member’s own choice does not apply. If your organization runs in, say, Dutch, members see a Dutch interface but receive English emails. Plan announcements accordingly, or use the Newsletter for anything that must land in a specific language.

​
Troubleshooting

The picker is tied to Enable Multi-language Support. Turn it on and tick at least two languages. On mobile the picker also requires more than one enabled language.
Expected. A saved profile preference beats the organization default. Members switch it themselves from the profile menu. The default only rules for members who never chose, and for everyone while multi-language support is off.
Any phrase missing from that language file renders in English. This affects a small number of recently added phrases. It is not a configuration problem on your side.
System emails render in Romanian, English or German only, chosen from the organization language, with English as the fallback. French is not among them, so English is correct behaviour. Invoices are the exception: the invoice PDF and the email that carries it cover all 14 languages, so a French organization’s invoices do arrive in French.
Enable both and make the majority language the default. Posts, event descriptions and file names stay in whatever language they were written in. Bilingual organizations usually post announcements in both languages in the same message.
