    Note From version 2022.11 onwards, Collibra takes the default language of your browser into account to select the interface text language of some sections. Collibra now also has translations of some interface text available out of the box. Consequently, you can no longer edit that interface text, nor translate it into unsupported languages. This includes the interface text of Usage Analytics, Data Marketplace and the Homepage.
