The whole PopIn interface is available in nine languages, buttons, menus, notifications, the lot. Switching takes three taps.
Switch language
Open Settings → Preferences
Settings → Preferences. The Language setting is right there.
Tap the language button
The globe button shows your current language. Tapping it opens the list, each language written in itself (Deutsch, not "German"), with the English name underneath so you can always find your way back.
Pick one
The page reloads in the new language straight away. No save button, no restart.

Signed in, your choice saves to your account, so PopIn shows up in your language on every device. Not signed in? The same selector sits in the footer of public pages, and your pick is remembered on that browser.
What changes, what doesn't
Switching covers the interface: navigation, buttons, settings, empty states, notifications, all of it. Two things behave differently:
- Other people's posts stay in whatever language they were written in, that's their words, not ours. Posts in another language get a Translate button in the action bar, with a "Translated from..." note so you know what you're reading.
- Help centre articles (including this one), blog posts, and the legal documents (Privacy Policy, Terms) are written in English and stay that way for now. The menus and buttons around them still translate.
Dates and times format themselves to match your language automatically, no separate setting needed.
No drama. The list always shows every language in its own name with the English name underneath, so find the globe button in the same spot, open it, and tap your way home.
