Manage Organization Language Settings

Bloomerang Volunteer is available in the following languages:

• English
• French
• Dutch
• German
• Spanish
• Italian

To switch between these languages, use the language drop-down list in Bloomerang Volunteer.

Most of the text in Bloomerang Volunteer is automatically translated into each of these languages. However, text that your organization adds is not automatically translated. At the organization level, this includes:

• Qualifications
• Tag categories
• Tag names

You can customize the text for these fields on the Language Settings page.

Volunteers can also select their preferred custom field language. The preferred language is used if no custom text exists for a field in the primary language.

Language settings can also be customized at the opportunity level.
