# Translations Settings

This setting allows administrators to control the visibility of the language selection option throughout the platform. When disabled, the language selection icon is hidden from the user interface, preventing users from changing the platform's display language. This ensures a consistent language experience for all users across the organization.

This setting applies to the following areas of the user interface:

- Login screen
- Web entry forms
- Platform dashboards
- Screens and processes
- Top menu navigation

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> - Disabling this setting does not remove language configurations from the system. It only hides the option for users to manually switch languages in the UI.
> - Learn more about [Translations](/v1/docs/user-interface-language-management).
