Tutorial 25 of 115 · 59 s
Housing Market portals speak your language: the whole site can be shown in seventeen languages. This tutorial shows the three places to choose one. First the language switcher in the top bar of any page, which changes the site you are looking at straight away. Then the same switcher in your dashboard. Finally the language preference in My Profile, labelled for your dashboard, emails and invoices, which is the one that decides the language of the messages and invoices the portal sends you. It shows how each one is changed, that the preference saves as soon as you choose it, and that you can switch back at any time.
