# Add multi-language content to notifications

You can also set up your notifications to support multiple languages. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to *Quick-access menu > Plugins > Filters > Manage filters* and ensure that the **Multilanguage content** filter is set to **On**.
2. While editing the **Body** field of a notification, click the globe icon (![Multilanguage content icon.](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1638887746640.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T05%3A40%3A53Z&se=2026-11-06T06%3A40%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=z7FENmfJTuxgPWkME7JpO%2BzMLmmdZzhWuCPOo6k7rMg%3D)). You can also add multi-language content in the **Subject** or **Body** field by using the keyboard shortcut **ctrl + M**.
3. Click the edit icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1638887705177.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T05%3A40%3A53Z&se=2026-11-06T06%3A40%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=z7FENmfJTuxgPWkME7JpO%2BzMLmmdZzhWuCPOo6k7rMg%3D)) for one of the sections in the language block.
4. Enter the **Lang code**.
5. Enter the content for the appropriate language in the **Content** field.
6. Click **Save**.

Each multi-language block can contain the content for all of your languages. When the notification is sent, the content from the appropriate language section will be selected.

When a built-in notification is sent, the notification system gets the subject and body content from the language pack for the recipient's language. However, if an administrator edits a built-in notification and overrides either the subject or body, all the translations except for the language being edited, are effectively lost and need to be specified using the process described above.
