How to add a language

Last updated: March 1, 2026

Add a new language, set it as default, or remove a language from the translations panel.

Before you can translate labels for a language, you need to add it to your languages list. The app supports a wide range of languages — from English, French, German, and Spanish to Swahili, Urdu, Nepali, and many more.

Adding a new language

Go to the Translations page.

2

In the Languages panel on the left, click the "+ Add Languages" button.
