explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Viva Engage is introducing a new feature that allows premium users to create posts in multiple languages. Imagine you're hosting a dinner party with guests from different countries. You want everyone to feel welcome and understand the menu, so you provide menus in each guest's native language. Similarly, this feature lets users write posts in up to 41 languages, ensuring everyone can read and understand the content in their preferred language.
Starting November 24, 2025, users with premium licenses can manually create these multi-language posts on the web. It's like writing a personalized message for each guest at your party, ensuring they feel included and valued. Readers will automatically see the post in their language, much like how a menu is handed to a guest in their native tongue.
This feature will initially be available on the web, with support for Teams coming shortly after. Once a post is created, it can be viewed across various platforms like Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and mobile devices. Think of it as a digital menu that can be accessed from any device, making it easy for everyone to stay informed.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Only the initial post can be translated, not the replies, and attachments need to be reuploaded for each language. It's like ensuring each menu has the correct images and descriptions for every language version. Notifications will show the default language, so it's important to communicate these changes to your team.
To prepare, make sure the right people have premium licenses to create these posts and update any internal guides to include this new capability. This feature is designed to enhance communication and inclusivity within multilingual organizations, much like ensuring every guest at your dinner party feels included and understood.
