Your application language may appear differently for users residing in different countries. For a better user experience, you can translate both your Apty Client's and Workflow balloon's user interface labels as well as the Apty Content it stores into the language of the host application.
Note:
- English is the default language given.
- The latest Apty version enables you to auto translate your content like Workflows, Tooltips, Launchers, and Announcements using Google Translation API. For example, if the selected language of the host application is French, Apty automatically translates and displays the content of the Apty Client in French. To learn more, see Auto Translate Apty Content.
- Auto Translation is a feature flag. Contact your Apty Assistant to enable this feature.
Apty Users given the role of the System Administrator or Translator can change the language of the content from English to any of the available languages. To learn more about Apty user roles, see Predefined User Roles.
Translating your Apty Client and Workflow balloon Labels into the language of the host application is a two-step process:
Step 1: Add New Languages to your Application
You can translate the labels into other languages only after you add the necessary languages to your application. For example, you must first add French to your application if you want to display texts in your Apty Client and Workflow balloon labels in French.
1. Log in to the Admin Portal.
2. Select your application from the left pane.
3. Click the Customization dropdown and then select Languages.
Note:
The Player(also known as the Apty Client) tab is chosen by default when you enter the Languages page.
4. Scroll down and then click Manage Languages.
5. From the list of languages, select the ones you want to add to your application.
Note:
Apty currently supports 40 different languages.
6. Click Save.

You can also change the default language of Apty Client/Player from the PLAYER DEFAULT LANGUAGE dropdown.
