Your application language may appear differently for users residing in different countries. For a better user experience, you can translate both your Apty Client and Workflow balloon 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 Apty Support 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.
In this article we will learn how to manually change your Apty Content language without Auto Translation enabled.
