Sherry, I am 'not' utilizing this, however, I have some thoughts - I'd like to share. In each person's profile they can set their own timezone and their language. Now I will assume, if you are rolling up status from various countries, then your report would need to capture the key fields (currency, time) and perform some sort of conversion on those fields, so that your final report to management / executives etc .. will be in one agreed upon format. I'll be interested in your final solution - as others in this community respond. Benetta Perry APS

Hi Sherry, Most of our users operate in English, but we do have some users who us it in Italian language (and some I think in Dutch). Regarding currencies, we use around 10 global currencies on our projects and do a lot of financial reporting of task values. Reporting is either in local project currency or converted to a common currency. I can provide more details if you have some questions. Regards, David Cornwell

We have English and French language users. The French users have to set their language in Chrome to French before setting their localization on the Workfront Profile to use the French language. As custom forms are created by our team, we had to do two sets of requests intake so that our users can submit in either French or English. Polly Co
