Localisation

You can localise each of the 4 categories of Settings for your KWS environment; i.e. basic information, branding, permissions, and display names:

Display names are relevant only if you are using KWS kid account management.

Supported languages

KWS supports the following languages:

Localise your app’s basic information

In the Basic Information tab, select the required language from the dropdown menu on the right-hand side, and then enter the localised settings and click Save.

For example, you may need to link to a French version of your privacy policy and terms & conditions for French-speaking users:

Localise your branding

In the Branding view, you can upload localised branding assets. You can also provide a localised email footer for the emails that are sent to users and their parents.

For example, to upload custom assets for your French-speaking users, select ‘French’ from the dropdown menu on the right-hand side, and then upload your assets as usual:

Contact your Implementation Manager if you need to localise any additional branding items.

Localise your app’s permissions

If you wish to provide app permissions and/or copy in multiple languages:

1. Prepare your permissions and copy text in the required languages.
2. Contact your Implementation Manager, who will upload the localised permissions and copy to your KWS environment for you.
3. When the upload is complete, you can view the localised permissions and copy in the Permissions tab by selecting the required language from the dropdown menu on the right-hand side:

Localise display names

Display names are relevant only if you are using KWS kid account management.

1. Select the required language from the dropdown list on the right-hand side, and then enter your nouns and adjectives as described in Set up display names. Remember to specify whether the adjective comes before or after a noun in the selected language.
2. For grammatically gendered languages, you must specify whether a noun or adjective is masculine or feminine. Select the noun or adjective to display the Grammatical Gender buttons, and then click Masculine or Feminine to assign a gender to the selected noun:
