Language & Time Zone

Enabled languages, default language, and default time zone for the workspace.

What This Is For

Languages and Timezone set workspace defaults for UI language and clocks when a person has not chosen their own settings yet. You also choose which languages people may pick in their profile.

In the product: ConfigureLanguages and Timezone (under Customize Your Workspace).

These defaults matter for things like welcome emails when a new user has no language preference, and for displaying times until someone sets a personal time zone.

Who This Is For

Workspace administrators.

How Defaults and Preferences Interact

  1. Workspace defaultsDefault Language and Default Time Zone apply when the user’s profile has no language or time zone yet (for example a newly created account).
  2. Browser detection — On login, Skillhabit may detect language and time zone from the browser and offer them in the welcome dialog; the person can change them there.
  3. Enabled languages — Only languages you enable appear as choices in profiles. The current default language cannot be removed from the enabled list.

How to Configure

  1. Open ConfigureLanguages and Timezone.
  2. Under Enabled Languages, open the picker and select which languages people may choose.
  3. Under Default Language, pick the language used when the user’s language is unset or a translation is missing.
  4. Under Default Time Zone, pick the zone for users who have not set one yet.
