Pick a site language and everything a member or visitor reaches follows — the public site, registration and joining, the member hub, the community, the job board, the privacy notice and refund policy — and the emails a member gets arrive in the language that member chose.
Your Languages, One Setting
Pick the language your site opens in and tick any others: each gets a language switch on every page, or one language runs the whole site on its own. It is one setting under Settings → The Basics, and a member’s choice is saved so their emails follow it.
Members Choose Their Own
A signed-in member picks their language on their own profile. Their emails follow it everywhere, and so do their pages on any device where they haven’t picked a language with the switch. The person’s record shows the board which language they read.
The French and the Portuguese Your Members Read
French comes as France’s or Canada’s, and Portuguese as Brazil’s or Portugal’s — the words differ (courriel, ficheiro), and so do dates and prices. A site offers one of each, chosen in Settings, so nobody gets a mix.
Translated and Reviewed
The pages and emails a member reads were translated and then reviewed against a per-language glossary, with checks that no English, no missing value and no wrong plural slipped through. It is not a sworn or certified translation: have someone fluent read your privacy notice and refund policy before you rely on them.
Email Follows the Member
Confirmations, reminders, renewal notices, and the community digest arrive in each member’s own language — including the ones sent overnight, with nobody on a page to ask. A recruiter and a job-alert subscriber get theirs in the language they used.
Your Policies, Translated Too
The privacy notice and refund policy OrgHQ writes for you read in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Filipino and Vietnamese, with a note that the English version governs and a link to it. A policy you wrote yourself is shown as you wrote it.
Dates and Money Written Your Way
Separately from language, choose how dates, times, and prices are written — US, Canadian, UK, Irish, Australian, or New Zealand style. A UK site reads “2 Oct 2026 · 14:30 BST”. Choose the currency too — US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, British pounds or euros — and prices, checkout and your books are all in it, with a Stripe account in your own country.
What Stays English, Said Up Front
The admin your board uses and the emails to admins stay in English. So do the CE certificate and the speaker pages, because accreditors review their wording, and the treasurer’s report to the board — its email and the board’s copy it opens — a record of your books in your treasurer’s words. What your board writes — news, event descriptions, announcements — appears as you wrote it, never machine-translated. Prices are in one of six currencies (US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, pounds, euros): not yet Brazilian reais, Philippine pesos or Vietnamese dong.
