Clients on Upwork sometimes include a requirement of a specific language as the preferred qualification for the freelancer. For example, in the below job posting, the client has Swedish mentioned as one of the Languages.

To allow your scanner to find such jobs, you can select the freelancer’s languages in your scanner settings as follows:

  1. Go to the scanner’s Vendor Preferences by clicking on the Vendor filter.

  2. Under Freelancer's Spoken Languages, click in the field to include and exclude certain languages.

    📌If you leave this field blank, the scanner will simply not consider language in its search.



    When you select a language, there are color indicators to help you identify what languages you have included and excluded. Green indicates that the selected language is included, and red indicates that the language is excluded.


    By choosing to include and exclude languages at the same time, you are allowing your scanner to include jobs that have the included language in the search results and exclude jobs that are in the exclude list of languages.

  3. Click OK.
