Sending Employee Messages in English and Spanish

Team Engine makes it easy to communicate with your employees in their preferred language, helping ensure messages are clear, inclusive, and understood. Currently, Team Engine supports English (default) and Spanish as language preferences.

Set an Employee’s Language Preference

To send messages in the correct language, you’ll first need to set each employee’s language preference.

You can do this in two ways:

• Bulk upload: Include a languagePreference  column when uploading or updating your employee list.
• Individual update: Edit the employee’s profile and select English or Spanish as their preferred language.

✅ Tip: Setting language preferences ensures employees automatically receive the correct version of messages and automations.

Send Messages & Announcements in the Preferred Language

When sending a one-on-one message or announcement:

1. Write your message in English (or your primary language).
2. Click “Add Spanish Version” at the bottom of the message box.
3. A second text box will appear where you can add the Spanish version.

Need help translating?

No problem! 🙌

• Copy and paste the original message into the Spanish box.
• Click Translate into Spanish, and Team Engine will generate the translation for you.

Each employee will receive the version that matches their language preference.

Set Up Automated Messages in Multiple Languages

Team Engine also supports multilingual automated messages, such as onboarding or reminder texts.

When creating or editing an automation:

1. Enter your primary message.
2. You’ll see a prompt to add a Spanish version.
3. Add or translate the Spanish message in the second text box.

📩 Once active, employees will automatically receive the message in their preferred language.
