Sending Employee Messages in English and Spanish

Team Engine allows you to send messages in multiple languages, making it easier to communicate to your employees in their preferred language. The current language preference choices are English (default) or Spanish.

Specifying a Language Preference

To take advantage of Team Engine’s ability to send messages in multiple languages, make sure you set up your employees with their language preferences. If you have a large number of employees to update, you can upload a new employee list with a column for their language preference. You also can change individual employees’ preferences in their profiles.

Sending Messages and Announcements in Preferred Language

If you are sending a message (one-on-one or an announcement) that includes someone who prefers Spanish, you can click the button at the bottom of the text box that says "Add Spanish Version".

After you click that button another text box will appear where you can add a Spanish version.

If you need help translating the message into Spanish, you can copy and past the original message into the Spanish version box, and then click the translate into Spanish button and the message will be translated for you!

Setting up Automated Messages to Send in Multiple Languages

Team Engine can also send automated messages to an employee in their preferred language. When setting up your automated messages, you will see an alert asking you to enter a Spanish version of the message.

After you click that button another text box will appear where you can add a Spanish version.

You can add the Spanish version there and then each employee will receive which ever version matches their language preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Team Engine support languages other than English and Spanish?

You can send messages in whatever language you like, however we only support having two versions that can be sent at once, a primary and secondary language, and the system is only set up to register English or Spanish as the language preference.

Is this supported in the hiring process?

Team Engine will not automatically send different messages to applicants based on their language preference, but you can post jobs with Spanish descriptions and translate your automated messages into Spanish if you’d like to send those to everyone.

Does Team Engine do the actual translating from English to Spanish?

Yes! Team Engine can translate messages for you. To translate a message, type it in your preferred language and then click the arrow next to the translate button to access the drop down list of languages and select the language you would like to translate to.
