Set organization language and formatting region

View as Markdown

Admins can set an organization’s language and formatting region in Administration > Account > General Settings > Localization.

The account language controls the language of Sigma UI text for users in your organization and consumers of embedded analytics. The format region controls how dates and numbers display across your organization according to the specified region’s conventions.

Requirements

Set the organization language

Sigma supports five languages that you can set as the account language for your Sigma organization:

  • English (United States): en
  • English (United Kingdom): en-gb
  • English (Australia): en-au
  • English (Canada): en-ca
  • English (Ireland): en-ie

The default account language is English (en). To change the organization language:

  1. Go to Administration > Account > General Settings.

  2. Under Localization, click Edit.

  3. Use the drop-down menu under Account language to select your preferred language.

  4. Click Save.

Set the formatting region for your organization (Beta)

This documentation describes one or more public beta features that are in development. Beta features are subject to quick, iterative changes; therefore the current user experience in the Sigma service can differ from the information provided in this page.

This page should not be considered official published documentation until Sigma removes this notice and the beta flag on the corresponding feature(s) in the Sigma service. For the full beta feature disclaimer, see Beta features.

By default, Sigma derives the formatting region from the account language when available. Otherwise, the formatting region defaults to United States. To change the formatting region and format dates and numbers according to that region’s conventions:

  1. Go to Administration > Account > General Settings.

  2. Under Localization, click Edit.

  3. For Formatting region, use the dropdown to select a region.
