Dashboard language
This sets the language of your own dashboard — a personal preference, separate from the language your visitors read on their pages. Arabic also switches the layout to right-to-left.
Setting your language
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Where | Settings → Your dashboard language card |
| Languages | English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Indonesian, Arabic |
| Arabic | Also flips the interface to read right-to-left |
This is only about the dashboard you work in. What your visitors read is a separate setting, described below.
It follows you
- Your choice is saved to your account, so it travels with you from device to device — set it once on your tablet and your computer matches.
- It is per person, not per business. Each teammate can pick their own.
The language visitors read
Your dashboard language does not change what visitors see. That is one setting for your whole business, answered once during setup.
What that one setting drives
| Part | How it's affected |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp and email messages | Sent in the language each visitor's own page was shown in. The business language you chose is used for visitors we know no language for (people you add at the desk, the counter tablet). |
| Join, kiosk and TV pages | Shown in the business language, unless a Default language is set for that location in the visitor-pages designer — that wins on the screens for visitors whose phone language we cannot follow. |
Change the business language and every location that follows it changes too. Only the owner can change it. A visitor can also pick another language for their own visit with the picker on the visitor page; that never changes your setting.
- One location needs a different language? Open it in Location details.
- Pick a language there. That location stops following the business and uses what you chose.
- To put it back, set the same field to Use your business language. Locations you have never touched already follow the business — you don't have to touch them.
So a screen and a message can legitimately be in two different languages — that is a setting, not a bug.
