Overview

The display language is the language of the Tenzo app: menus, buttons, settings and messages. Each user can choose their own, and admins can set a default for the whole organization. The available languages are:
  • English
  • Français
  • Español
  • Deutsch
  • Nederlands
  • Nederlands (België)
The display language does not change the language of interviews or of messages sent to candidates. Interview language is set on each job (see Language).

​
Choose your language

1

Open Preferences

Go to User Settings from the user menu and select the Preferences tab.
2

Pick a language

Under Display language, open Language and choose a language. To follow your organization’s default instead, choose the first option, Organization default, which names the default language, for example Organization default (English). It keeps following the default when an admin changes it.
3

Save

Click Save. The page reloads in the new language.
Your choice applies only to your account.
Some pages may still appear in English while translations are completed.

​
Set the organization default

Admins can choose the language for everyone in the organization who has not picked their own.
1

Open the Language tab

Go to Admin → Organization & Users → Language.
2

Pick a default

Under Default display language, open Default language and choose a language. Choose No default (English) to clear the default, so users who have not picked a language see English.
3

Save

Click Save.
If you follow the organization default yourself, the app switches to the new language right away. Other users who follow it see the new language the next time they load Tenzo. Users who chose their own language keep it.

​
Which language applies

Tenzo shows the first of these that is set:
  1. The language you chose in Preferences
  2. Your organization’s default language
  3. English
Your browser’s language setting does not change it.

​
What stays as written

Content your team wrote, such as job descriptions, screening questions and saved templates, keeps its original text in every display language. If your language cannot load, Tenzo shows the app in English with a notice and a Retry button. Your language choice is unchanged, and the notice clears once your language loads.
