What is this? The app shows every screen, menu, prompt and reminder in the language your phone, tablet or computer already uses. There is nothing to set up.
The Basics
YACHTWAVE reads the language your device is set to and opens in it. Each crew member sees the app in their own language from the first screen, without anyone configuring it per person.
The app itself is translated. What you type is not: boat names, notes, task names, documents and everything else you enter stay exactly as you wrote them, in whatever language you wrote them.
If your device is set to a language the app does not have yet, the app opens in English.
The 14 Languages
English (US) · Español · Français (France) · Français (Canada) · Italiano · Deutsch · Português (Brasil) · Dansk · Nederlands · Norsk bokmål · Suomi · Svenska · Türkçe · Ελληνικά
Español is neutral Latin American Spanish. Français (Canada) follows Canadian usage; Français (France) is European French. Português is Brazilian.
How to Switch the App’s Language
- Change the language of the device, not the app: - iPhone or iPad: Settings → General → Language & Region - Android: Settings → System → Languages - Web version: your computer’s operating-system language setting
- Make sure the device is connected to the internet.
- Fully close the app from the app switcher and open it again (on the web, refresh the browser).
Tips
- Mobile app version 4.8.0 or later is needed for a translated interface. Update through the App Store or Google Play if yours is older.
- The first launch in a new language needs a connection so the app can load the translation.
Troubleshooting
- “I changed my phone’s language but the app is still in English.” — The app was not fully closed. Swipe it away in the app switcher and open it again, with the device online.
- “Some screens are translated and some are not.” — Update the app to the latest version; translations are completed release by release.
