Multi-Language Preferences
It is important to correctly set up language preferences for your website and NetSuite account. There are four language preference settings:

Note:You cannot change this setting after your account is created.
-
Website languages — These are the various languages in which users can view your website.
-
Website default language — This is the language your website will use unless configured for another language.
-
User Preference language — This is the language your employees use for the NetSuite interface.
