I. Intro
As a Lingo administrator, you can create entry categories in the Lingo Admin Console based on your organization's needs. For example, you could create categories based on departments or business areas. After creating categories, you can manage entries by category.
II. Steps

- Enter a name for the category. If your organization is multilingual, you can click Add Languages to provide localized names for the category in different languages (Chinese, English, and Japanese are available).
- Note: The display language of the category will be consistent with the display language set in the Lingo Admin Console or Lark app. If the category does not have a name that matches the display language set in the console or app, the default language name (the first name edited when creating the category) will be displayed.

Note: The display language of the category is consistent with the display language set in the Lingo Admin Console or Lark app. If the category does not have a language name that is consistent with the language set in the console or app, the name for the default language (the language name first edited when creating the category) will be displayed.
For example, if you add an English name for the category:
- If the display language set for the Lingo Admin Console is English, you will see the English category name on the Category and All Entries pages, as well as on Lingo cards.
