The language aware feature for the Phish Alert Button (PAB) allows you to add languages to your new or existing PAB instances. This feature provides you with a set of default languages that you can choose from to add to your Account Settings page. The PAB add-on gives your end-users the ability to report suspicious emails and empowers your employees to take an active role in managing the problem of phishing and other types of malicious emails. For more information on the PAB add-on and how to enable and configure your PAB, check out our Phish Alert Button (PAB) Product Manual.

User Experience
When your users report a suspicious email by clicking the PAB, the language aware PAB will search for the preferred language in the user's system. If you have added the language, the user will see the customized PAB messages in that language.
If the preferred language on the user's system isn't one of the added languages, the language aware PAB will display the default language selected on the Account Settings page.
