Setting your Language

Percipio supports multiple languages. If you have learning content available in languages other than English, a language selector displays at the top of your web browser.

Change Your Percipio Site Language

You cannot change your site language while actively consuming content, for example, playing a course or listening to an audiobook. To change your language:

  1. Select the language icon, language button, black outline of globe at the top of the Percipio page.
  2. Select an available language from the list. Percipio immediately refreshes and displays in the selected language.
    3. Note: Some languages may not be available to you. When you change your site language, you can only search and browse for content in the selected language. If you do not have any content available to you in the selected language, a message displays to inform you of this.

When you choose another language:

  • The Percipio interface is translated.
  • Learning content is limited to the language you chose.
  • The default system text in emails you receive from Percipio is translated for you based on your language selection. If your admin added custom text to a Percipio email or did not configure Percipio compliance emails in your local language, you may see the email in English.

To change your mobile app language, see Percipio Mobile Language Support.

Note: Language settings on web, mobile, and ELSA are all stored separately. If you change your language on one, it does not automatically change the language on the others.

Percipio login page language

When you access the login page, Percipio automatically detects your browser language.

  • Percipio presents the login page in your browser language.
  • If language settings are enabled on your site, once you successfully log in, you can change your Percipio site language to any of the supported languages.
  • Once you successfully log in, Percipio opens in the browser language, then runs an entitlement check for your content. If you do not have any content in your browser language available to you, a message displays and changes Percipio's language setting to English.
  • Percipio presents the login page in English.
  • If language settings are enabled on your site, once you successfully log in, you can change your Percipio site language to one of the supported languages.
  • Once the language is changed, Percipio then runs an entitlement check for your content. If you do not have any content available in the selected language available to you, a message displays and changes Percipio's language setting back to English.

Most browsers have an advanced Languages setting that controls the displayed browser language. The displayed browser language may be one of several languages available, and it may be anywhere in the list order. In the image of Chrome Language settings below, the selected language is the second language in the list.

Screenshot of Chrome language settings. Spanish appears as the first language on the list and english as the second. English is the selected language that Chrome displays in.

The Percipio login page language displays in the language at the top of this language setting list, despite the language selected as the displayed browser language.

Example: In the image above, English (United States) is set as the displayed browser language. However, because Spanish is the top-listed language in the list, the Percipio Sign In page displays in Spanish.
