What is the default language?
The default language refers to the language of your Showell's content. You are able to create folders and upload content in any language of choice.
In the Showell App, the user interface language is an additional default language.
- This will help to translate folders, so that all your content, as how it's original language is, will be now under the 'default' column.
- When using the language filter option, the user can choose 'Default' and see the content in the accounts default language.
- If a user has a different language for their user interface within Showell App, they will have 2 languages as default. So if a user filters the content by language, they will see their content in the account default language + their chosen user interface language.
Create a language friendly environment within the Showell App!
- When a user changes the user interface language of the Showell App, all folder titles will automatically be converted to the chosen language as well, if the translations have been applied to in Showell Admin.
- Adding these translations does not affect the folders in Showell Admin.
This is how it looks like within the Showell App:
User interface and content language options:
- If your folder translation is not included in the standard languages, You can still choose the folder translation from the language preferences list within the Showell App. However, the user interface will remain in its standard language (For example the device's language or English).
- Standard languages that you did not choose for your folder translations will still be accessible. Choosing one of these standard languages will change the user interface. However, the content will remain in the default language. you will be able to see this in the Showell App language preferences list as 'Content: Default language'.
