Guidelines for data in languages other than English

If you're able to use the advanced insights app with data in other languages, keep the following best practices in mind:

  • Column headers for the organizational data when you prepare the organizational data must be in English.
  • When an analyst selects metrics while building a query, the metric names they choose can be in the language of their choice.
  • For content within organizational data, you can use languages other than English.
  • .csv files generated by Viva Insights are UTF-8 encoded. Excel doesn't automatically use UTF-8 when opening .csv files, which might cause garbled characters. Refer to Access query results and modify existing queries to learn how to import a .csv file in Excel.
