What is a default Org language?
The default language is set org level, and you can check and edit it from setup > company information.

Things to know before enabling multi-language org:
Salesforce offers three levels of language support.
- Fully supported languages: This is a list of languages that will change the whole page in the selected language.
- End-user languages: It is the list of languages where users can set up pages in the language of their choice except setup and help translate.
- Platform-only languages: It helps you translate custom apps developed in Salesforce. Also, to set translation for language Salesforce doesn’t provide translation via translation workbench.
Steps to setup multi-language for your org:
Step1. Enable multi-language setting.
From setup, enter ‘Language Setting’ and enable End-user language and Platform-only language. Then select your preferred language (in our case, we selected Japanese and Hindi).
Step2: Enable Translation setting:
Setup > Translation Setting >🡪Enable
Step3: Add supported language for each user: in our case, we have selected Japanese for one of our users.
Step4: Create a custom field on account “Company Name” and make it available for all user profiles.
Step5: Now, set the local language of the user to Japanese
Step6: So, if we check by login with this user, you will see the custom field is still not translated.
Step7: Now, add the translated value for the field.
Step8: Finally, you will see.
