# Add a new language for translation

The translation process begins by adding a language for translating Whatfix content. See the list of [Languages Supported by Whatfix](/hub/docs/languages-supported-by-whatfix).

          **Note:**

          

Only an **Account Manager** can perform the following task. For more information about available roles, see [Whatfix User Roles](/studio/docs/whatfix-user-roles).

Use the following steps to add a language using the new translation experience:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Settings**. ![Hub_Click_Settings.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Hub_Click_Settings%281%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A58%3A09Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A58%3A09Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=C55KEOYobuSzpVXw7cI%2FrH%2FOnS%2FV%2B1PskNLrIfbpFvU%3D)
