Changing Display & Translation Languages
Discover the distinctions between these two settings and learn how to adjust them independently to optimize your learning experience.
Table of Contents
Settings Overview
The IMMERSE app uses two distinct language settings: the display language and the translation language. Our team programs the display language, which controls the fixed elements of the app. Conversely, the translation language determines how dynamic content is presented through AI translation services.
User-Interface (UI) Display Language
The system display language controls the language of the IMMERSE app’s user interface, things like your menus, buttons, navigation labels, and system messages. These elements are carefully configured in-house by our localization experts and development team.
Languages Offered:
-
English (North American)
-
Spanish (Latin American)
-
French
-
Portuguese (Brazilian)
-
Japanese
👩🏼🏫 If you're confident in your second language skills, try switching your display language to match your target language! This will help you test your fluency by seeing how well you navigate IMMERSE and discover new terms.
⚙️ Our Help Center and support articles are also offered in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Japanese. To change between languages, choose from the drop down menu at the top left of the page.
Translation Language
The system translation language dictates the output language of any dynamic or AI-generated translations that appear within the IMMERSE app. This includes text translations and AI-generated responses in Self-Paced Lessons, as well as results from the Language Assist feature. Our integration of third-party generative AI APIs allows us to support more languages in these tools than are available through our standard display language options.
