Use your preferred language in Showpad – Showpad Help Center

You can use your native language when working with our Showpad apps. If supported, Showpad will take over the language you set on your system or device. If you have multiple languages configured on your device, Showpad will automatically switch to the first supported language. If we don't support any of the languages you select, we'll automatically switch to English.

Note: When using Showpad's Web app, you'll see Showpad in the language you configured in your browser settings. If we don't support the language, we'll automatically switch to the first language from the preferred list on the device that we do support.

Currently, we support the following languages:

Chinese (simplified - not traditional)
Czech
Danish
English
French
French (Canadian)
German
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Polish

Showpad will simply take over the language you set on your iPad. If we don't support the language, we'll automatically switch to the first language on the device that we do support. You can check this in the settings: General / Language and Region / Device language and preferred language order.

If the first language is not supported, we will switch to the first language in the preferred order list that we do support.

Changing preferred language list
If your preferred language is Dutch and your second language in the preferred language order list is French, your app will be set in French since we do not support Dutch as a language. To make sure your app is configured in English, change the iPad language to English in the iPad Settings.
