Items for Which System Language Is Used

E-mail Notification

The system language is used for the following e-mail notifications sent from Kintone.

  • E-mail notification telling that the audit log is generated
  • E-mail notification to a new user added by the administrator, telling about the login information
  • E-mail notification to a user, telling that his/her password was changed by the administrator

When User's Display Language Is Different from System Language

When "Use Web browser settings" is configured, e-mail notifications are displayed in the system language (locale). When options other than "Use Web browser setting" is selected, the language selected in the user's profile takes precedence.

If both following conditions are met, an error message will be displayed in the system language.

  • The "accept-language" property of the HTTP header is not specified
  • The user running API has selected "Use Web browser settings" for the display language setting
