By default, your visitors see consent forms in English. But if you add another language, they’ll be able to see it in that language. We have built-in translations for Dutch, English, Finnish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. For other languages, you need to do translations on your own. In this article, we’ll explain how to set it up.
Before you start
Here are some things to know before you add languages:
- English is the default language. But you can set another language as the default one.
- A visitor will see your form in their current browser language. Piwik PRO automatically detects the browser langage and presents forms in that language. But if your form doesn’t support that language, a visitor will see it in a default language.
- A visitor can switch to a different language by using the drop-down menu on the form. If they change the language, they will see consent forms in that language in the future.
- We have built-in translations for Dutch, English, Finnish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish.
