Review language

Review language is an organization setting for the prose heyGRC posts on pull requests. The default is English. You can pick German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, or Polish. The setting is available on all plans, including Free.

This is the org-wide language of the review comments. To change the language of the console itself, use Console language, a separate per-user setting.

What changes

• The summary, title, description, and recommendation on new compliance review comments use the selected language.
• Changing the setting does not rewrite comments that are already posted. The next successful review uses the new language.

What does not change

• Control IDs stay the identifiers from the framework (for example A.8.15 or Art. 32).
• File paths, severity labels, and code snippets stay as they are today.
• The GitHub check name stays heyGRC. Check titles stay English.
• /heygrc chat replies stay English.
• Heybug and Heysec are unchanged.
• The console's own language is set separately, see Console language.

How to set it

1. Open the console: app.heygrc.com → Settings.
2. Find the Review language card.
3. Pick a language. New reviews for that org use it.

If the card is not in your console, that install still writes English reviews.

Configure it as code

review_language is a sticky field on GET / PUT /v1/config. Omitting it on PUT leaves the current value unchanged. Unknown codes are rejected (422). See API reference.

Allowed values: en, de, es, fr, it, nl, pl.

curl -sS -X PUT https://api.heygrc.com/v1/config \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HEYGRC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"profile":{"company":"Acme"},"frameworks":["ISO_27001","SOC_2","GDPR"],"review_language":"de"}'

Replace profile and frameworks with your real org config. A PUT is full-replace for those fields. review_language and eu_inference are sticky when omitted.
