Image you are working on your website, making it looking great. Than you notice where you are living. Yeap! Is this the product people are willing to buy? What language are they using? Is it normal for everyone to speak English? And no, there are so many beautiful languages out there, you will be ashamed not to give attention too. So how can we fix it? What are we need more or how to translate? I fingered this out.
Interface translator? When type the word in Google, Yahoo, Yandex or Bing you find a lot of products who can translate. Now when it comes to the point you want to check the translation than a local or native speaker should have a second opinion.
If you’ve bought a digital product and want to use its interface in another language, the best option depends on how the product is designed. Here’s how to approach it:
1. Check if the product supports multiple languages (native option)
- Go into the Settings or Preferences of the product.
- Look for “Language,” “Locale,” or “Region” settings.
- This is the cleanest option because it’s officially supported and translations are likely high quality.
2. If no native language option, try browser or app translation tools
- If it’s a web-based product, use Google Chrome’s auto-translate feature (right-click → “Translate to [Your Language]”).
- For desktop apps, you can use tools like:
🌐 Google Translate Desktop Overlay (translate text on screen in real-time).
🌐 Windows Translator (if you’re on Windows 11).
3. If it’s mobile, check OS-level language overrides
- Android and iOS let you set app-specific languages.
- On iPhone: Settings → App → Preferred Language.
- On Android: Long press the app → App Info → Language.
4. If the product doesn’t support translation at all
You have 2 advanced options:
- 📝 Contact the creator and ask if they offer a multilingual version (or plan to).
- 💻 Use third-party software like Poedit or Lokalise (for modifying language files in apps), but this only works if the product isn’t encrypted.
