Your App – En Español

Did you know it’s possible to display your app in Spanish? Reach out to our support team to see if your app includes the Spanish language pack. If it does, the hard-coded elements of your app (menu items, headers, buttons, etc.) will automatically appear in Spanish for users whose phones are set to Spanish (in their phone settings).

If your app doesn’t include the Spanish language pack, don’t worry! Just let our support team know this is something you’re interested in. We’ll schedule your app for a recompile to add this functionality.

AN EXAMPLE – ANDROID

To see an example of how this works, you can download the Family Church app from the Google Play Store. If your phone’s Language (under System Settings) is set to English, you will see the English-language version of the app. Close the app.

Now, change your phone’s Language to Spanish. Open your Settings > System > Languages & input > Languages > and add / select Español (Estados Unidos).

Open Westover Hills’ app. You should now (automatically) see the Spanish-language version of the app. Close the app.

Return your phone’s settings to English (if you want). Open your Settings (Configuración) > Sistema > Idiomas y entradas > Idiomas > select English (United States).

AN EXAMPLE – iOS

To see an example of how this works, you can download the Family Church app from the Apple App Store. If your phone’s Language (under System Settings) is set to English, you will see the English-language version of the app. Close the app.

Now, change your phone’s Language to Spanish. Open your Settings > General > Language & Region > iPhone Language > select Español (EE. UU.) > accept the option to change to Spanish.

Open Westover Hills’ app. You should now (automatically) see the Spanish-language version of the app. Close the app.

Return your phone’s settings to English (if you want). Open your Settings (Configuración) > General > Idioma y región > Idioma del iPhone > select English (US).

IN SHORT

The language the app displays for a particular user depends on the phone system’s language settings. The user does not manually adjust any setting within the app.

Please note that the language pack only changes things like the headers and menu items. The actual content of your app (e.g. event descriptions, Dashboard content, etc.) will remain in its original language (i.e. as it was entered into MinistryPlatform). The language pack does not provide a blanket translation of the app.

We’re excited to provide support for multiple languages to help you share your app with the whole community!
