How to Detect Language: Built-In App Text

steven.h.liu.1 · 2025-03-28T05:06:01.015Z

Hi- I am trying to create English and Spanish versions for my app. I used the App Text built-in feature, but when I did the preview, it didn’t seem to display the Spanish, even though my browser is in the said language.

Did I miss a setup somewhere?

Hi Steven, have you parametered your url with the 4 digit language code to display the language you need ?

No, not yet. I’m relatively new to this. How would I set it up?

Hi Steven,

When using the app text build-in, you need to tell bubble what language you want to display, and that is done through urls. you need to add to your url lang=“the four digit lang code you want to use” for exemple for english “en_us”.
