5. Add more than one language.
6. Finish and activate the workflow rule as per your needs.

Language for workflow rule is determined as below sequence:

1. If recipient has an user in system, the language would be first read from identity. To check this: Login with Recipient User ID. Go to Personalize->My Settings->Language.
2. If recipient is not an user in system, but an existing Contact from a Business Partner (Account/Individual Customer), then system will consider the work address of the contact to get the email/phone and the comunication preference. In case the Contact is not associated to the account, system will consider the personal address and its preference.
3. If recipient is not an user in system, but a Business Partner (Account/Individual Customer) or/and if the Contact Personal Address is empty, it will be derived from the Language field available within the Account. To check this: Go to Customers -> Accounts/Individual Customer ( Based on recipient is an Individual customer or it is associated with an Account) -> Language.
4. If both Contact (Personal Address) or Business Partner (Language field) are not set, the email language will be defined according to the Language marked as "default" in workflow rule.
