Orgo’s interface is available in 11 languages. You choose which languages are available, set a default, and members pick their preference. The entire interface — menus, buttons, labels, system messages — switches to their language instantly. Settings → Customization → Languages
Requires Tenant Admin permissions.

​
Setting up languages

1

Open the language settings

Go to Settings → Customization → Languages. You’ll see a list of all supported languages with toggle switches.
2

Enable the languages your members need

Toggle on each language your organization uses. Each toggle controls whether that language appears in the language picker for members.
3

Set the default language

Select the primary language from the dropdown at the top. This is the language new members see when they first access the platform, and the fallback when no preference is set.
4

Enable the language switcher

Toggle on the language selector so it appears in the interface. When enabled, members see a language dropdown in their profile area to switch languages.
5

Save

Click Save to apply. Changes take effect immediately for all members.

The platform interface (menus, buttons, system messages) is fully translated in all supported languages. User-generated content (discussion posts, event descriptions) stays in the language it was written in.
Only enable languages your members actually speak. Extra languages clutter the language picker. You can always add more later without affecting existing members.

​
How members choose their language

Members change their language from the profile dropdown menu in the top-right corner of the interface. The interface updates immediately — no logout required. For first-time visitors, the system detects language automatically from:
  • Browser language settings — matched against your enabled languages
  • Previous selection — saved in the browser if they’ve visited before
If neither matches an enabled language, the platform falls back to your default language.

What gets translated

​
Multi-language labels

If you’ve customized labels (e.g., “Members” → “Scouts”), you need to provide translations for each enabled language. Without a per-language override, the customized label falls back to the default language version. See Labels & Terminology for the full setup process.

​
Real-world example

Scenario: A Swiss non-profit operating across French-speaking and German-speaking cantons, with 2,000 members.
  1. Enable French and German. Leave other languages disabled.
  2. Set default to French (60% of members are French-speaking).
  3. Enable the language switcher so German-speaking members can switch.
  4. Customize labels in both languages: “Membre” (FR) / “Mitglied” (DE) instead of “Member”.
  5. Write the welcome message in both French and German versions.
Result: French-speaking members see everything in French by default. German-speaking members switch once, and their preference is remembered. System emails (event reminders, fee notifications) go out in each member’s chosen language.

​
Troubleshooting

Enable both languages and set the one with more members as default. System-generated content (menus, emails) translates automatically. For user content (discussion posts, event descriptions), you have two options: post in both languages, or pick one common language for shared content. Many bilingual organizations post announcements in both languages.
They can change it from their profile menu in the top-right corner. If new members consistently get the wrong default, check that your default language setting matches the majority language. Also verify that the language switcher is enabled so members can change it themselves.
The default language only affects new members and visitors without a saved preference. Existing members keep their previously chosen language. They need to switch manually from their profile menu.
If you’ve customized labels, you need to provide a translation for each enabled language separately. Go to Settings → Customization → Labels, switch to the language that’s missing, and add the override. Labels without an override fall back to the default language version.
