Hey Niek,

There isn't a setting for this. it is handled automatically, sending the email in the language the recipient has set in totara (where possible). Some places like program management where the user defines the content we can't translate, but we are fairly sure we have caught all the possible emails.

I'll just run through it, if your site is set to italian, and you have a user with language set to japanese with a manager whose language is set to german. It used to be if they manually self enrolled in a course they got a welcome message in italian and if their manager would have gotten a notification it too would have been in italian. Now the learner would recieve their welcome message in japanese, and their manager the notification in german. Give it a go and let us know if you find any places where it isn't working that you think it should be (i.e. not user defined messages).

Cheers
David
