What global actually requires

Four things that break at scale

Language, not translation

33 languages in product, with 60 locale variants so French Canadian is not served as French, and en-GB is not served as en-US.

33 languages

Regional permissions

Access controlled by region and business unit, so a manager in one country cannot see casework in another.

Regional control

Data residency

Customer choice of US or European data centers, with data remaining in the designated region.

Common questions

How many languages are available?

33 languages are available in product, covering 60 locale and culture variants.

Is French Canadian handled separately from French?

Yes. French Canadian (fr-CA) is a distinct language option, and the locale set includes fr-CA, fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-LU and fr-MC.

Can we keep European employee data in Europe?

Yes. You specify whether your data is hosted in our US or European data centers and it remains in that region, including where a back-up facility is required.

Do you support right to left languages?

Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi are included in the 33 available languages.

Can different regions have different permissions?

Yes. Access is controlled at region, business unit, team, category and record level.

Is the AI chat limited to the same 33 languages?

No. The HR Copilot supports over 100 languages. That is a wider set than the 33 the platform interface is localized into.
