==Overview==
People collaborate using Platform3 SmartSimple Cloud in many languages. For example your applicants, reviewers and program managers may work together in over 30 different languages.
For your '''Global Administrators ''' who configure the system, we have included translations for English, in Español (Spanish), Français (French - Canada), Dansk (Danish), 日本語 (Japanese), Català (Catalan), Português (Portuguese) and DanishGaeilge (Irish). We also plan to add Japanese Note: the Español (Spanish) translations in the November 2020 upgradeare using Castilian Spanish.
This article will give you an overview of the user interface options around user language selection.
You will need '''Global Administrator''' access if you intend to configure available languages or add translations. To learn more about configuring your system for multiple languages see the category [[:Category:Translation|Translation]] ==Configuration – Essentials==.
==Essentials==
===Available languages===
Your system may be configured to support the following languages:
* English (US)

When a user selects their desired language on the login page, that user will be redirected to the desired login page. The new login page will load, and the language ID in the URL may change (Example “'''&lang=23”23'''). The language ID tells the system which language to display to the user, in this case “23” '''23''' is Danish.
Once the user logs in through the desired login page, they will see the system in the language of the login page they came through. Example : if you enter entered your system via the Danish login page, post login, you will see the rest of the interface is displayed in Danishafter the login screen.
'''Note''': If the user does not select a language on the default login page (either leaving the language dropdown set to '''Select Language''' or if they went to a URL ending in "&lang===Selecting "), the user will see the language while logged set in their personal settings upon login. If no language is set in===a user's personal settings, the language will default to English.
===Switching languages while logged in===Once you have logged into your system you can change the language at any time by clicking on the globe icon '''Change Language''' option in the headerwhich looks like a globe icon.

The browser will reload to display the chosen language. If you have any unsaved changes so make sure to save your work before switching languages.
Alternately you may be able to go to the '''User Menu''' > '''Personal Settings''' > '''Regional''' tab and change your language setting then click save.
