Available languages

Overview

Appwarden supports multiple languages for user interactions and monitoring alerts. This guide explains how language detection works, what languages are currently available, and how to request support for additional languages.

Automatic Language Detection

Appwarden automatically detects and uses your preferred language based on your context:

• Dashboard: Uses your browser’s language preferences
• Discord interactions: Uses your Discord client’s language settings
• Slack interactions: Uses your Slack client’s language settings
• Fallback: English is used if your preferred language isn’t supported

Each user sees Appwarden in their own preferred language based on their browser, Discord client, or Slack client settings. There’s no need to configure language settings manually.

Technical Details

Language Detection

Appwarden uses automatic language detection based on context:

1. Discord interactions: Appwarden detects your Discord client’s language from the interaction metadata
2. Slack interactions: Appwarden detects your Slack client’s language from the interaction metadata
3. Dashboard: Language is detected from your browser’s Accept-Language header
4. Fallback: English is used if the detected language isn’t supported

How It Works

• No configuration required: Language detection is automatic
• Per-user experience: Each team member sees Appwarden in their preferred language
• Instant detection: Language is determined on each request based on current settings

Troubleshooting Language Issues

Dashboard Appears in Wrong Language

If the dashboard appears in an unexpected language:

1. Check your browser’s language settings
2. Ensure your preferred language is set as the primary language
3. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page

Discord Commands in Wrong Language

If Discord commands appear in an unexpected language:

1. Verify your Discord client’s language preferences in Discord settings
2. Restart your Discord client after changing language settings
3. Check that Appwarden supports your preferred language

Slack Commands in Wrong Language

If Slack commands appear in an unexpected language:

1. Verify your Slack client’s language preferences in Slack settings
2. Restart your Slack client after changing language settings
3. Check that Appwarden supports your preferred language

Language Not Displaying Correctly

If text appears garbled or incorrectly formatted:

1. Character encoding: Ensure your browser or Discord client supports UTF-8
2. Font support: Verify your system has fonts for the selected language
3. Regional settings: Check your operating system’s language and region settings

Next Steps

Language detection is automatic, so there’s nothing you need to configure:

1. Verify your browser language: Ensure your browser is set to your preferred language
2. Check Discord settings: Verify your Discord client language preferences
3. Check Slack settings: Verify your Slack client language preferences
4. Test the experience: Run a few Discord or Slack commands, or browse the dashboard, to confirm

Automatic language detection ensures your team can effectively use Appwarden in their preferred language, improving incident response times and reducing miscommunication during security events.
