Language selection

Step 1: Enable Language Options

Before users can choose a language, you first need to define which languages will be available in the app.

1. Go to: Settings → Channels → Mobile App → Settings

2. In the General section, enable the toggle Available languages.

3. Select all the languages you want your users to be able to choose from.

   

Step 2: Set Up Language Selection During Onboarding

To ensure users select their language from the very beginning, it's recommended to add a language selection screen into the app's welcome flow.

1. Go to: Settings → Channels → Mobile App → APP_WELCOME

2. Click Add new to create a new screen.

   

3. Set the following options:

   • Screen Type: Language screen
   • Action: Next

4. Optionally configure title, subtitle, and other content.

5. Click Save as a Draft, and then Publish the changes.

   

Step 3: Make Sure All Translations Are Set

The app UI will automatically reflect the language selected by the user. To avoid missing content, make sure all translations are prepared for the enabled languages.

General Settings

1. Go to: Settings → General Settings → Translations

2. In the Language is dropdown, select each language you’ve enabled.

3. Review or edit the translations as needed.

4. Click Save in the top-right corner after making changes.

   

App Channel Settings

1. Go to: Settings → Channels → Mobile App → Translations

2. In the Language is dropdown, select each language you’ve enabled.

3. Review or edit the translations as needed.

4. Click Save in the top-right corner after making changes.

   

Step 4: Allow Users to Change Language Later

You can also allow users to change their language anytime—typically from their Profile screen.

1. Go to: Settings → Channels → Mobile App → Profile

2. Click Add new (top-right) to add a new widget.

3. Select:

   • Widget Type: Settings
   • Setting Type: Language

4. You can optionally set a Title and Subtitle to display in the app.

5. Don’t forget to Save as a Draft, then Publish.
