Concept: Skills Cloud Translations

Workday supports Skills Cloud in these languages to support your global workforce:
  • Chinese (Simplified)
  • Chinese (Traditional)
  • Danish
  • Dutch
  • English
  • Finnish
  • French (Canada)
  • French (France)
  • German
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Portuguese (Brazil)
  • Norwegian
  • Spanish (Neutral)
  • Swedish
You can enable these languages in the
Edit Tenant Setup - Global
task. When a user sets their preferred language to one of these languages, they can search for and select Skill Cloud skills in that language.
Workday automatically translates Skills Cloud skills to improve the visibility of skills across your tenant. If translations are available for a Skills Cloud skill, Workday displays that skill in a user's preferred language. Example: Dennis, whose preferred language is German, uses the
Edit Skills
task to search for skills in German and adds them to his profile. Betty, whose preferred language is French (France), visits Dennis' profile and sees his skills in French.
Workday displays Skills Cloud skills in English when:
  • A translation isn't available for another language.
  • A user's preferred language isn’t supported for Skills Cloud.
Workday supports Skills Cloud translations in:
  • Recruiting
  • Learning
  • Projects
  • Talent
  • Talent Marketplace
