# App language
Change the language of the app's admin interface.
The app's own interface โ buttons, labels, help text โ can be shown in any of nineteen languages. The setting is in the dashboard footer.
The app language picker sits in the dashboard footer.
## Change it
1. Open the app's **Dashboard**.
2. Scroll to the footer, beside the **Documentation** and **Chat with support** links.
3. Click the language button and pick a language from the list.
The interface switches in place โ no reload โ and the app confirms with a "Language changed" message.
## Available languages
๐บ๐ธ English (Default) ยท ๐จ๐ณ Chinese (Simplified) ยท ๐จ๐ณ Chinese (Traditional) ยท ๐จ๐ฟ Czech ยท ๐ฉ๐ฐ Danish ยท ๐ณ๐ฑ Dutch ยท ๐ซ๐ฎ Finnish ยท ๐ซ๐ท French ยท ๐ฉ๐ช German ยท ๐ฎ๐น Italian ยท ๐ฏ๐ต Japanese ยท ๐ฐ๐ท Korean ยท ๐ณ๐ด Norwegian (Bokmรฅl) ยท ๐ต๐ฑ Polish ยท ๐ต๐น Portuguese (Brazil) ยท ๐ต๐น Portuguese (Portugal) ยท ๐ช๐ธ Spanish ยท ๐ธ๐ช Swedish ยท ๐น๐ท Turkish
## It's saved to your store
Your choice is stored against your store, so the app opens in that language next time โ including for anyone else with access to it.
{% hint style="warning" %}
This changes the admin interface only. It does not change a single word on your storefront. To change what shoppers read, edit the countdown's text and, if you sell in several languages, translate it โ see [Translate countdown text](/samita-countdown-timer-bar/design-and-translation/translate.md).
{% endhint %}
## Two different language settings
| Setting | Changes | Where |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **App language** | The app's admin interface, for you | Dashboard footer |
| **Countdown translation** | The text shoppers read, per storefront language | Language switcher in the countdown builder |
They're independent. You can run the admin in Vietnamese while your countdowns speak English and French to shoppers.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.samita.io/samita-countdown-timer-bar/settings/app-language.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
