Localization
Overview
You may have remote team members or customers from all around the world so localization might be the really important feature of your service desk. With the HelpDesk app you can translate almost everything related to the HelpDesk Portal.
A user will see their profile-relevant language translations on the Portal if this translation is available. If it's not – a user will see the original entity name. The language can be selected at the login window as well as in profile settings. By default, your customers will have the default system language in their profile.
HelpDesk supports the following languages:
English
Russian
Spanish
German
Polish
Slovak
French
However, all system Jira languages are available for a user in their profile. If another language is selected, the user will see the default system language names for automatically translated entities.
