3️⃣ Setting the Document Language


Once inside the document, you can click on the globe icon to pick the current language of a document.

For documents that don’t yet have a language set, use the globe icon to assign the correct one.

  • Example: Start from English β†’ Auto translate to French πŸ‡«πŸ‡·.

6️⃣ Distributions & External Sharing


When sending documents via distribution or to external contacts, an additional language dropdown appears on their side.
