Enable automatic per‑user language selection for Defender training modules
We use Attack Simulation Training and Microsoft Defender training modules as part of our security awareness program for a global audience.
Currently, training content is assigned in a single language per campaign, even though users already have preferred language settings defined in Outlook and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). This creates challenges for multinational organizations and often requires duplicating campaigns or accepting that some users receive training in a non‑preferred language.
We are requesting a capability that allows Defender training modules to automatically display in each user’s preferred language, based on:
- Outlook mailbox language settings, and/or
- Microsoft Entra ID user language preferences
Enabling per‑user language selection would:
- Improve comprehension and learning outcomes
- Increase training effectiveness for non‑native speakers
- Reduce administrative overhead and duplicated campaigns
- Align Defender training with existing Microsoft 365 localization behavior
Defender already supports training content in multiple languages. Allowing dynamic language delivery per user would significantly improve scalability and usability for enterprise security awareness programs.
