Dashboard ## Every screen, ready to translate Language Manager holds every piece of interface text as a key and its translated text, so you control the exact wording customers see in each language. - Every interface text lives as a key next to its translated text - Search and page through the full list of text keys - Add a new key when you need custom text the platform doesn’t already cover - Customers switch the language of the website and app whenever they like - More than 25 languages are available to translate into, including English, Spanish, French, and German ![The Ordering.co Dashboard Language Manager, listing translation keys such as LOGIN_INPUT_EMAIL and LOGIN_BUTTON_LOGIN next to their translated text, with an Add new key option and pages of entries.](https://www.ordering.co/media/blog/7842895d3944865f639cc39f76585bb88f714dac98ee151c7ddf16270a210f5f.jpg) Every screen's text, ready to translate. Dashboard ## Currency formatted the way your customers expect Currency settings control how amounts are written across your platform, from the symbol itself to how the numbers around it are formatted. - Set the currency symbol for your business, such as $, €, or £ - Choose whether the symbol shows to the left or right of the amount - Set the number of decimals shown - Choose the decimal separator, such as a point or a comma - Choose the thousand separator, so larger totals stay easy to read ![The Ordering.co Dashboard Currency Settings panel, with fields for the currency symbol, whether it shows on the left or right, the decimal length, and the decimal and thousand separators.](https://www.ordering.co/media/blog/fe2c9207082cfe7b5d70ee3d44ace626c29c35763f9bdcf950be12f00c3085ab.jpg) Currency formatted the way your customers expect. Website and customer app ## Distances in the unit customers already use Distances shown to customers, such as how far a store is, can display in the unit they're used to. - Choose kilometers or miles for distance measurements shown to customers - Helps customers who travel, or aren't used to the local unit, get their bearings immediately Dashboard ## Translate each product, not just the interface Language Manager translates interface text. A product's own name and description are translated separately, from the product editor. - Open the language selector in the product editor to choose which language you're editing - Enter a translated name and, if needed, description for that language - The Dashboard shows the edited value in the language you selected - Works alongside Language Manager, which covers interface text, not product content Dashboard ## Choose which languages are available, and the default Before a language reaches customers, it has to be enabled for the project, with one of the enabled languages set as the default. - Enable or disable each language your project can offer - Choose one enabled language as the default - Each change saves right away - Enabling a language is separate from translating interface text in Language Manager or product content in the product editor Dashboard, Business App, and Driver App ## A language switch for your team and your drivers Interface language isn't only a customer-facing setting. Your team and your drivers can each work in the language they prefer. - Switch the Dashboard to any language available to the project, from the Multilanguage option in the sidebar - Business App and Driver App staff and drivers pick their own interface language from Profile, on their own device - The choice is saved on that device, not the account, so a phone and a tablet can show different languages - The language list only appears once the project has more than one enabled language Dashboard ## Date, time, and phone formats for your region A few more regional controls round out how your platform presents information to customers and your team. - General time format: 24-hour, 12-hour, or a custom string - General date format: year-month-day or day-month-year, each paired with 24-hour or 12-hour time, or a custom layout - A separate, shorter date format just for scheduled preorders - Skip strict phone-number validation so customers can enter international or non-standard formats How it works ## From setup to the next order. 1. 01**Set languages and translations** Enable the languages your project offers, choose the default, and translate your interface text with Language Manager and your product content from the product editor. 2. 02**Set currency and number formats** Choose your currency symbol and position, and the decimal and thousand separators your customers expect. 3. 03**Set dates, distance, and phone formats** Choose date and time formats, kilometers or miles, and whether to accept international phone numbers. ## Good to know - Language Manager holds every piece of interface text as an editable key, so new keys appear as the platform grows. - Enabling a language, translating interface text, and translating product content are managed separately. - Switching the language in the Business App or Driver App changes that device's interface only, not the customer-facing language or every teammate's device. ## Related - [Business settings](https://www.ordering.co/features/platform-configuration-settings/) - [Custom domains](https://www.ordering.co/features/custom-domains/) - [Omnichannel ordering](https://www.ordering.co/features/omnichannel-ordering/) - [Multi-country platform](https://www.ordering.co/features/multi-country-platform/) [See all features](https://www.ordering.co/features/all-features/#feature-catalog) ## See how it fits your operation.
