How to Set Choice Options in Different Languages

In both the Declaree app and web environment, you can easily change the display language in your settings. However, this change does not automatically update the text of choice options you’ve previously set, such as categories or other selection fields.

For example: If you created a category named “Food and Drink” in English, changing your language to Dutch won’t change the text to “Eten en Drinken” automatically. The original text remains until you add the translation yourself.


How to Translate Choice Options

This process applies to all choice options in Declaree: categories, expense types, and more. We’ll use categories as an example here.

  1. Create your category with the default name. This name will appear in all languages until translated.

  2. Change your language:

    • In the web app, click your name (top-right corner).

    • Select the language you want to translate into.

  3. Edit the category name:

    • Open the category.

    • Enter the translated name for the selected language.

    • Save your changes.

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for every language you want to support.

When users switch their display language, Declaree will show the name in the correct language automatically.


Quick Summary

  • Changing the display language alone won’t translate existing choice option names.

  • You must manually add translations per language by switching languages and editing the names.

  • Once saved, Declaree displays the right translation depending on each user’s language setting.
