# Languages

> Manage program languages and per-language tier and benchmark configuration.

Admins use the **Languages** page to maintain which languages your organization teaches and, per language, to adjust **Performance Tiers** used in rosters, the gradebook, and reports. Teachers do not configure these values.

When you add **Hebrew** to a new organization, hFlow pre-fills reading tier bands (and related benchmarks) for all configured grades using the standard Hebrew template. You can still edit tiers per grade and school year afterward. Other language names start with generic tier defaults until you save changes.

## How to open Languages

1. In the header, click **Languages**.
2. Select a language in the left list before changing settings on the right.

## How to add a language

1. At the bottom of the language list, type a name in **New Language** (for example **Hebrew**).
2. Click **Add**.

The new language appears in the list and is selected automatically. Hebrew receives template tier defaults; other names receive generic defaults you can edit.

## How to review tier bands by grade and year

1. With a language selected, choose **School Year** and **Grade Level**.
2. Scroll **Performance Tiers** to see Beginning, Middle, and End of Year bands for **Tier 1**, **Tier 2**, and **Tier 3** (accuracy and fluency ranges).
3. To change sliders, click **Edit Tiers**, adjust values for each period, then click **Save Changes**.

Rosters and assessments use the saved bands for that language, grade, period, and school year.

## How benchmarks relate to tiers

Benchmark targets shown in the **Benchmarks** table are derived from your **Tier 1** accuracy and fluency settings for each period. That table is read-only. Edit **Performance Tiers** to change the targets. When you save tier changes, benchmark lines in reading visuals follow the updated Tier 1 values. See [Benchmarks](/hflow/configuration/benchmarks) for how those targets appear on charts.
