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 youâve previously set, such as categories or other selection fields.
For example: If you created a category named âFood and Drinkâ in English, changing your language to Dutch wonât change the text to âEten en Drinkenâ 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. Weâll use categories as an example here.
Create your category with the default name. This name will appear in all languages until translated.
Change your language:
In the web app, click your name (top-right corner).
Select the language you want to translate into.
Edit the category name:
Open the category.
Enter the translated name for the selected language.
Save your changes.
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 wonât 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 userâs language setting.
