WhatsApp Template Languages

When utilizing WhatsApp templates, it is essential to ensure they are created in the appropriate languages to correspond accurately with the language settings in your account.

Please note that because of differences in how language settings are handled between platforms, certain WhatsApp languages lack direct equivalents. In particular, it is advisable to avoid using the following region-specific languages and instead utilize the generic language variant:

• Chinese (HKG) (zh_HK)

• Chinese (TAI) (zh_TW)

• English (UK) (en_UK)

• English (US) (en_US)

• Portuguese (Brazil) (pt_BR)

• Spanish (Argentina) (es_AR)

• Spanish (Spain) (es_SPA)

• Spanish (Mexico) (es_MX)
