> Customize language settings for your Atlan workspace and personal instance. Admins can set a default workspace language, and individual users can override it with a personal language preference from supported languages.

Use Atlan in your preferred language by configuring workspace and personal language settings. Admins can set a default language for the entire workspace through the Admin center, while individual users can override workspace defaults with their personal language preference. 

Atlan currently supports the following languages:

- English (default)
- French
- German
- Korean
- Japanese
- Portuguese
- Spanish

To enable any of the additional supported languages or request ones not listed in this section in your Atlan workspace, Atlan admins must [contact Atlan support](https://docs.atlan.com/support/submit-request).

## Troubleshooting

If you wish to improve translations, such as for some specific technical term that's not translating correctly, you can directly submit that through Atlan's [open source language support](https://github.com/atlanhq/i18n).

Note that you need to have a Github account to be able to do so.

Enter src/locales/default and choose the language you wish to update translations for. Submit a pull request to edit any existing translations or add new terms.
