Change the default language

Tenants in watsonx Orchestrate are provisioned in English by default. However, you can change the default language of the watsonx Orchestrate interface for your tenant to one of the supported languages.

To change the default language, contact the IBM Support and open a case. Include the following information in the support case:

  • Product URL: The URL you use to access the watsonx Orchestrate platform.
  • watsonx Orchestrate CRN details: To find the CRN, click your profile and then About. For the tenant where you want to change the language, add a screenshot of the About page.
  • Default language: The language that you want to define as default.
Important:

To make the change effective for existing members of a tenant, the admin needs to remove and re-add them after the default language of the tenant is changed.

Notice that removing and re-adding members can be a disruptive action. Members might lose the custom skills and skill flows that they added to their Personal skill set. As well, members might also lose access to automations in the Automation builder.

Before you request the change of language, consider the following items:

  • Request the change in the default language soon after the tenant is provisioned and before the admin adds members to the tenant.
  • Members of tenants who need to change the default language can experience the data loss that is mentioned. In this case, plan to export the custom skills, skill flows, and automations from the platform and import them later. For more information, see Exporting skills and skill flows.
