### Common translation needs and scenarios:

Here are a few ways you can make multi-language support more flexible to meet your team’s unique needs. 

#### 📑 Keeping subject content "as-is."

There may be times when presenting subjects in their original format is needed or necessary. For example, when you’re training in more than one language within a page or when legal descriptions must be shown to the team untouched.

Regardless of the reason, updating an individual subject's settings will stop multi-language support from translating the subject's displayed content [**at the page level**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5578224-create-add-content-to-a-step?hsLang=en).

1. **Click on the three dots** to the right of your subject title from the subject edit page.
2. Choose "**Edit subject settings**" from the drop-down menu options.
3. Open the "**Advanced subject settings**" **section** by clicking on the downward arrow.
4. Check the box "**Do not allow translation of this content**."
   
   ![](https://help.trainual.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-29%20at%202-22-40%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=404&height=326&name=Screenshot%202024-08-29%20at%202-22-40%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)
5. Hit the "**Save**" **button** to apply this change.

#### 💡 Combining multi-language support with smart tools.

Multi-language support helps your teammates translate to learn best, whereas smart tools can assist you as a content creator with translations in 25 different languages.

### FAQs:

***Can I predetermine language settings for my new hires?***   
No. Accounts will default to English unless otherwise changed post-creation via a personal user's [**multi-language account setting**](https://help.trainual.com/en/multi-language-support#How-To-Set-Up-Multi-Lang).

***Will multi-language support translate my view under the [Trainual mobile app](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/5112400-the-trainual-app-for-iphone-android?hsLang=en)?***   
No. Multi-language support translations are only available via a desktop browser.

***Will multi-language support automatically translate my original content within my text editor when I am under "Edit mode"?***  
No. Content displayed in the [**text editor**](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/8432884-trainual-s-editing-experience-content-editor?hsLang=en) under "Edit mode" will always show in the language it was originally written in within this view.

***What if I don’t want my users to experience one of my subject's content in a different language?***   
We recommend turning on the ["**Do not allow translation of this content**" **advanced subject setting**](https://help.trainual.com/en/multi-language-support#Keeping-Content-As-Is) for these cases. This will ensure that the information you've already created at the page level displays "as-is" but still allows the platform translation to continue benefiting your teammates who've turned on this individual setting. 

***How can I submit my feedback and ideas about features?***  
If you'd like to share your thoughts about the multi-language support translations or think of something else you'd like to see added in the future, send us your **[feature requests and ideas](https://help.trainual.com/en/articles/4113422-how-do-i-request-a-feature?hsLang=en)**.
