Use your preferred language in Showpad – Showpad Help Center

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

When working with a global clientele, you can use multiple languages. The Web and Windows Desktop apps allow you to switch languages quickly.

Note: On Showpad's Web app, you'll initially 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 we support from the preferred 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. To ensure your app is configured in English, change the iPad language to English in the iPad Settings.
