Supported Languages
The Participate by Lookback UI currently supports the following languages:
Czech
Dutch
English (US)
French
German
Portuguese (Brazil)
Spanish
Swedish
Please note: Languages other than English are available only for Extension-free Beta for Desktop, Participate for iOS 4.13.1.1 or newer, and Participate for Android 2.7.3.2379 or newer; they are not supported when using the Chrome extension or In-Person mode at this time.
Selecting the Desired Language for Your Participants
When setting up a new round, you'll be given the chance to choose the localisation language. To change the language for an existing round:
Open the Round in the dashboard
Click on Edit Round on the upper right-hand side of the page
Go to Settings on the left side
Find the Localisation section and choose your language
Click the Save button at the top right to save your changes
Please note: this will not change the language in your dashboard; it will only change what the participant sees when they run a session on their device.
When selected, this means that all of the elements and text built-in or "hard coded" into Participate by Lookback will appear in that language. Here's an example of the Participate welcome screen when the language is set to Spanish:
Language Support for Welcome Message, Instructions, & Final Message
For any of the text sections within a round setup (Welcome Message, Instructions, Final Message), you can simply type or copy & paste your text in any language (even those not currently supported in the UI), and the participant will see it exactly as you've typed.
Please note: the language in the text sections does not need to match the language set for the round.
This is how your text will appear to your participants
Welcome Message
Instructions
Final message
