Atlas AVD Speaks 73 Languages, Natively

By David, 2026-09-04

Most IT teams are more international than their tooling. The service desk is in one country, the engineers in another, and the people signing in to their desktops are wherever the business happens to be. An admin console that only speaks English quietly makes all of them work in a second language.

Atlas AVD doesn't. It ships fully translated into 73 languages (96 versions once regional variants are counted), and each person chooses their own.

The short version: every admin picks a language in the console and every user picks one in the User Portal. Both apply instantly, need no add-on or language pack, and cover the whole product rather than a few headline screens.

What "natively supported" means here

Plenty of products list dozens of languages and then fall back to English the moment you leave the home page. We hold our list to a stricter bar. A language is only counted when every string in the product has a translation, so someone working in it never runs into an English page halfway through a task.

The app also carries some languages that are still being completed. Those aren't in the count below, and they're added only once they reach the same full coverage. The number on this page moves when a language is finished, not when one is started.

The full list

Where a language is written differently from one region to another, Atlas ships a variant instead of making one region read another's conventions. That's the case today for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Dutch, Arabic and Serbian. A regional variant carries its own spelling and its own formatting for dates and numbers, and takes everything else from the full base translation, so it's never less complete than the language it comes from.

Every person chooses their own

Language is a personal setting, not a tenant-wide one. Two admins on the same team can work side by side, one in German and one in Japanese, without either one changing the other's console.

• From the first screen. Choosing a language is the first step of the setup wizard, so even the person deploying Atlas works in their own language from the start.
• In the admin console. Anyone can switch at any time under My Preferences → Language. The change applies immediately, with no reload and no sign-out.
• In the User Portal. End users choose a preferred language when they first sign in to the User Portal and can change it later in the portal's preferences.
• A sensible default. On a first visit, Atlas uses the browser's language when it's one of the supported ones, so many people never need to open the setting at all.

The choice is saved in the browser, not on the account. A new laptop or a different browser starts from that browser's own language until the person picks one there, and on a machine where several people share one browser profile, the last language chosen stays in place for whoever signs in next.

More than words

Translating the text is only part of localizing a product. Atlas also:

• Formats dates, times and numbers the local way. A cost report reads naturally in Zürich, in Seoul and in São Paulo. Timestamps also follow each person's own timezone setting.
• Lays out right to left for Hebrew and Arabic. The whole console mirrors, including navigation, tables, dialogs and back arrows, instead of showing right-to-left text in a left-to-right layout.
• Tells screen readers which language a page is in, so assistive technology reads it with the right voice and pronunciation.

One thing stays in English on purpose: the audit and security log entries Atlas writes on the server side. Keeping those in a single language means your SIEM queries, alert rules and incident timelines work the same no matter which languages your admins use.

Why it matters for MSPs

If you run Atlas across many customer tenants, your technicians and your customers' users are unlikely to share a first language. With per-person language settings, your service desk can standardize on one language while each customer's users see the User Portal in theirs, without a separate deployment, a regional edition, or a translation project on your side.

Language support is included on every plan, from Community up. It isn't a paid add-on and it isn't limited to higher tiers.

Try it

Start a trial, pick your language on the first screen of setup, and look around. If a language your team needs isn't on the list yet, tell us: we prioritize new languages based on where our customers are. The language support article covers the settings in more detail.
