Multilingual SharePoint Org Chart: 30 Languages, Automatic (Free)

If your company works across countries, a SharePoint intranet in English only is a small daily friction for a lot of people. The org chart is one of the most-visited pages on most intranets, so it is a good place to fix that. Smart Org Chart, the free org chart web part for SharePoint Online, shows its interface in 30 languages and picks the right one for each person automatically.

How the language is chosen

The web part reads each signed-in user's Microsoft 365 display-language setting (or the site's default language). This is the same mechanism SharePoint, Teams and Outlook use, so people see the org chart in the language they already work in. It does not depend on the language of their operating system.

That means one page, one web part, one configuration. A colleague in Madrid sees Spanish, a colleague in Tokyo sees Japanese, and nobody has to maintain parallel language pages.

What gets translated

• Labels, buttons and tooltips
• Error messages
• The property pane admins use to configure the web part

Directory data — names, job titles, departments — is shown exactly as stored in Microsoft 365. If a language has no translation, the interface falls back to English.

Supported languages

English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Greek, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian. The user guide's languages section keeps the current list.

Rename the view labels for your organization

Some companies call their directory "People Finder" or their org chart "Our Team". In the property pane's Branding group, the Employee Directory View Label and Org Chart View Label fields replace the default names in the header bar and the view-toggle button's tooltip.

Match your brand color too

The Custom chart theme lets you pick any accent color, with a live contrast check in the property pane. The header bar, employee cards and the org chart all use that accent, with readable text computed automatically.

Set it up

• Install the web part — see the Smart Org Chart install guide.
• Add it to a page. There is no language setting to configure; each user's Microsoft 365 language applies.
• Optionally rename the view labels and pick a Custom theme under Branding.
