Canada is bilingual, and so is Avanti! You can set up Avanti so your users can choose their language, either English or French.
How to Set Up French in Avanti
Most of Avanti translates to French automatically; you’ll need to provide French translations where you can tailor text for your organization, such as code descriptions. You may need to create French pay statements and cheque formats if you haven’t already.
Before enabling French on ASSP and Career Connector, you’ll want to review and add French translations. These can be:
Messages and comments
Names, headings, and descriptions
Career Connector, system, and company settings
French pay statements and cheques
How to Allow French on ASSP
Once you’re done setting up French in Avanti and are ready to allow users to log into ASSP in French, you’ll need to enable it on ASSP.
