Language display in test emails
If you've set up multiple languages and assigned preferred languages to guests, the links in a test email may not display in the guest's preferred language when you click them. This is because you're logged into your account, so the system sees you as the account owner rather than the guest.
To test that the preferred language works correctly, open the link in a private/incognito window, a different browser, or a different device where you're not logged in.
Tips
Always test before any bulk send
Check spam folder for your test
Open on mobile - most guests read on phones
Verify personalization (names, etc.) works
Test any personalized links
If testing languages, use a private window so the system treats you as the guest, not the owner
