If you choose to implement one of Procore's point-of-view dictionaries at the company level, Procore recommends informing your users that changing the dictionary settings on a project (or at the user level) overrides the company-level setting.
For best results, always set the Project Dictionary and User Dictionary settings to None. See Can I change the language of my Company, Project or User in Procore?
Content for the Client Contracts, Funding, and Progress Billings tools is only available on the United States English version of the Procore Support Site.
