French-speaking notary Charlotte Dumont works in a Brussels office serving both French and Flemish clients. She changes her Nora.Legal interface language to French in Settings > Profile, immediately seeing all buttons like "Télécharger", "Anonymiser", "Traduire" in French without needing to reload the page. Her colleague Jan Janssens, who is Flemish, keeps his interface in Dutch with buttons like "Uploaden", "Anonimiseren", "Vertalen". Both work comfortably in their preferred language while collaborating on the same workspace and documents.
​
​

Personal setting: Language preference is per-user - changing yours does not affect colleagues
​Workspace default: Admin can set default language for new users, but existing users retain their preferences
​Document content unaffected: Only interface language changes - your document content remains in its original language
​Three languages only: Currently supports French, Dutch, and English (no German, Spanish, etc.)
​Translation module separate: This setting controls interface language, not document translation (use Translation module for that)
​
​

A: No, language preference is personal to each user account. You can use French interface while your colleague uses Dutch, and you both see the same workspace, documents, and features - just with different button labels and menus. This is ideal for multilingual Belgian offices.

A: The language setting controls the entire interface (buttons, menus, labels). It does not affect document content language. If you need to translate a document from French to Dutch, keep your interface in your preferred language and use the Translation module to convert document content between languages.
​
​

A: Yes, Nora.Legal provides complete translation for French, Dutch, and English across all modules. All buttons, labels, error messages, notifications, and help text are professionally translated. There are no partially-translated sections or English fallbacks in the supported languages.
