Change the language of the LaboChat app
Section titled “Change the language of the LaboChat app”For a new account registered in the web app, your browser’s preferred supported
language is selected automatically. Regional preferences such as pl-PL can
use the matching base language. If you import settings from another account,
its language is preserved. Existing accounts keep their saved language.
Note that this will not change channel names, topic names (other than general chat), or the language of messages you receive.
- Go to Preferences.
- Under General, select a language from the dropdown under Language. Languages are marked as 100% translated only if every string in the web, desktop, and mobile apps is translated, including administrative UI and all error messages that the API can return.
- Click Reload.

Font configuration for unsupported languages
Section titled “Font configuration for unsupported languages”LaboChat uses the Source Sans 3 font, which supports over 30 languages. If Source Sans 3 does not support your language, you may need to configure your browser to use a different font or adjust the default font size to properly display all the characters. See the documentation for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge for more information on how to configure your browser’s default font.
