Language and Locale
When used with other Widgets, the Language & Locale Widget provides a multi-lingual approach by allowing the User to select their preferred language.
- Current available languages are English (default), Mandarin (Simple Chinese), Portuguese, and Spanish.
- The selected language impacts:
- Menu & Navigation Text (Labels)
- Date & Time Formatting
- Currency
- Default label values will always come with a translation for each supported language. These default values may be changed. When labels deviate from the default value provided, churches are responsible for their own translations. See Application Labels for the current list of supported languages and further details to making changes to labels.
Sections
- Language: May be selected by the User.
- Dropdown: Displays on every page where the Widget has been placed and allows the User to select their preferred language.

Using the Language & Locale Widget is just one way for you to customize your User's Widgets experience. In the example above, the Language & Locale is set to Spanish. But the Events were set up in the Platform using a different language. From left to right:
- Language & Locale Widget is set to Spanish and the Event was set up in the Platform in Spanish.
- Language & Locale Widget is set to Spanish and the Event was set up in the Platform in English.
- Language & Locale Widget is set to Spanish and the Event was set up in the Platform in Chinese.
And don't forget! You can use Application Labels to further customize your Widgets, including titles and button labels.
