Role: Site-Level Admin
Platform: ANVL Manager (https://insights.anvl.com)
Focus: Apply
Purpose
Change the system language used for menus, buttons, and platform text for a specific user.
Why This Matters
The language setting controls system-level text only
It does not translate workflows or workflow questions
Correct language settings improve usability for global teams
When to Do This
A user prefers to view ANVL in a different language
A user supports a site operating in a non-default language
A new user is created with the wrong language setting
Before You Start (Important)
You must be a Site-Level Admin with access to the Users tab
The user account must already exist
Workflow content is not automatically translated
Steps: Change the Language Setting
Log in to ANVL Manager at https://insights.anvl.com.
Go to the Users tab.
Select the checkbox next to the user you want to update.
Click Modify → Modify User.
In the Language section, select the desired language.
Click Update in the upper-right corner to save changes.
What Happens Next
The user must log out and log back in to see the change
Platform menus and system text update to the selected language
Helpful Notes
Mobile app: The device language (phone or tablet) must also be set to the same language for menus to display correctly.
Workflows: JSAs, JHAs, Job Safety Briefings, Inspections, and other workflows are not translated by this setting.
Workflow translations: Contact your ANVL Customer Success Manager for workflow translation options.
Data exports: Excel may not support special-character languages (e.g., Chinese, Japanese).

What You Should See
Updated language saved on the user profile
System menus and buttons displayed in the selected language after re-login
