How To Customize Your Portal Languages

Summary

You can customize the language of your Bynder DAM and solutions. The supported languages based on the solution are listed below. 

Who?

Bynder Admins should work with their Onboarding Manager or Customer Support to decide which languages to enable for their end users. Once the languages are selected, end-users can choose their language in their portal. 

Why?

Bynder is an international organization and, as such, seeks to cater to the many different cultures of the world and the languages that accompany them.

FAQs

What do I do if the language I want isn't in the menu?

First, contact your Bynder Admin to discuss having the language requested for your portal. If the language is not currently supported, please reach out to Customer Support to submit it for consideration in a future update.

Can I change the date metaproperty format to European format (DD/MM/YYYY)?

Yes, but this setting only controls how dates display in the interface.

  • In the Mass Uploader (CSV Import): Numeric dates in CSV files are always parsed in the US format (MM/DD/YYYY). For example, entering 06/04/2026 in your CSV imports as June 4, 2026, even if your portal is set to English (UK). The portal language only controls how dates appear after import; it does not change how the Mass Uploader interprets raw spreadsheet values. There is no setting in the Mass Uploader to switch ingestion parsing to DD/MM/YYYY.

How should I format dates in my CSV to prevent import errors?

When preparing CSV files for the Mass Uploader, format all numeric date columns using the US standard:

  • MM/DD/YYYY (Example: Use 04/06/2026 for April 6, 2026).

  • Standard international notation (YYYY-MM-DD) can also be used to prevent ambiguity across global teams.
