What do you set under Languages?

Answer

Under Languages you choose in which languages your guests see your widgets and confirmations: which language is the Main language, which is the fallback (General settings) and which languages are Visible, at most five. You can find it under Settings > Your business > Languages.

Where to find it

Settings > Your business > Languages (/Settings/Languages)

Explanation

The page shows a table with all languages. For each language you use a round button to choose the Main language and the language under General settings, and you turn Visible on or off with the switch. Then click Save; you see Your details have been saved!. In the Translations column you see for each language how far your products and texts have been translated. A language can only become visible once everything in it has been translated: Jimani never falls back to another language. The language in which you and your employees see the dashboard is chosen per user under Users (field Language).
