Set the default language of a workspace or organization
You can select the default language for members of your Slack workspace or Enterprise Grid org. Only email invitations, SCIM-synced profiles, and Slackbot announcements in public channels will display in the default language; everything else in Slack will be determined by members’ individual language preferences.
