Hello everybody

Happy New Year!

The January release includes a new feature permitting users to associate their profile with personal pronouns.

However, I wonder how this works on accounts with several languages? At UCPH, we use both the English and Danish version of Canvas, since we have a lot of international staff and students.

Can a user customize one set of pronouns for the English version and another set for the Danish version? If yes, how does this work?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Ruth

Hallo!

That is an interesting question.  The personal pronouns allow you as an admin to establish what text values people can choose from for pronoun choices.  These text values are agnostic of account language settings.  The way the feature was designed, if you enable pronouns at the account level, you should then see pronoun settings in the sub-accounts and have the option to set different text values for different sub-accounts.  If that is not the behavior you actually see when the feature goes live, please contact Support.
