All Trek U content is available in 13 languages. You can control:
- The language of the site (menu titles and page headers)

It is recommended to change both settings.

- Select Profile

- Choose your preferred language
- Select Save
Your preferred language is now added to your profile.

Change the site language (Menus and page headers)
This controls the language used for:

How to change the site language
- Go to your Trek U homepage
- Select the language selector in the bottom left corner
- Choose the language you prefer
Important
Changing this setting only changes the site interface.
You must still add your preferred language in your profile to receive in-language course content.
Find content in your preferred language
Once your preferred language has been added to your profile, use the catalog to find content in that language.
Use the catalog and filters
- Open the hamburger menu
- Select Catalog
- From the Categories menu on the left side of the page, choose your preferred language
Only languages you have added in your profile will appear as options.
Homepage tiles behavior
If you select courses from homepage tiles, you will be directed to content in your default store language.
To access content in your preferred language, always navigate through the catalog.
Good to know
If you recently added a preferred language, it may take up to 8 hours before content appears in that language.
How language affects curriculums and credit
Curriculums (for example: Explorer, Guide, Assembly) must be completed in one language to earn credit.
Changing languages does not transfer course or curriculum completions.
Example:
If you complete these Explorer courses in French:
- Bikes 101
- Daytime Running Lights
- FX
They will show as complete only in French.
They will not count toward the Explorer curriculum in German or any other language.
