Global mobility programs have always made a quiet assumption: that every relocating employee could navigate the relocation process in English. For many, that assumption is wrong.
An employee relocating from Mumbai, São Paulo, or Tokyo shouldn't have to work through a foreign-language app to understand their housing tasks, neighborhood guides, or next steps. A confusing experience — regardless of how well the program behind it is designed — means more support calls, missed milestones, and employees who arrive unsettled.
That assumption is now gone.
Relocity has launched multilingual support in its mobile app. Relocating employees can use the app in their own language, automatically. The app detects the device language and configures accordingly. No setup is required from mobility teams, program managers, or IT.
The initial release covers the most common non-English regions for global mobility programs:
German
Spanish
French
Italian
Brazilian Portuguese
Hindi
Simplified Chinese
Japanese
Farsi (with full right-to-left text support)
If a device language isn't supported yet, the app defaults to English. New languages can be added without any changes to a client's program configuration.
The full guided experience is available in each supported language. Translated content includes relocation goals and tasks, city and neighborhood guides, AI-assisted guide responses, service provider pages, announcement cards, and app home sections.
Chat messages, videos, and user-generated content are not translated in this release. Those are planned for a future version.
“Moving to a new country is one of the most personal experiences a company asks of its employees. To ensure a smooth transition, Relocity’s mobile technology is tailored to the needs of its users, including the language in which it is delivered. Relocity now provides relocating employees with a fully guided employee experience in their native language, making the process more accessible and enjoyable.”
– Klaus Siegmann, CEO & Founder, Relocity
For teams managing international populations, multilingual support has consistently come up in RFP conversations as a must-have. It's also a practical program design issue: when employees can't navigate the app confidently, the digital foundation of the program breaks down — and that workload lands back on the mobility team.
The multilingual app means the guided experience actually guides. In the employee's language, from day one.
The Relocity mobile app is the employee-facing layer of the Relocity talent mobility platform. Every relocating employee uses one guided mobile experience, regardless of move type, location, or level of support. Digital guidance is always included. Mobility teams can layer in Advisor for dedicated remote support, or Concierge for a Personal Host on the ground.
Multilingual support is available now. Schedule a demo or contact the Relocity team to learn more.
