Changing Language Preference in Zendesk Profile

Learn how to manage language preferences in Zendesk profiles and automate language settings for users.

Can I change my language preference in my Zendesk profile?

End-users generally cannot directly set their language preference in their Zendesk profile.

Zendesk uses certain rules to detect and set the language for new users, and agents can manually change a user's language setting. However, you can automate this process by setting up a trigger to automatically set the user's language based on specific criteria, such as the language selected in a ticket form. This allows users to choose their preferred language when submitting a ticket via the help center request form.
