Native, translation and AI language

PlayLingo uses four language settings. Your native language is the default for translations and explanations, but you can change each one separately.

Setting	What it changes	Where
Native Language	Default for translations and explanations	Profile
Translation	Language of the subtitle translation	Player
AI Language	Language of explanations and Lingo’s replies	Settings → App
App Language	Menus and buttons	iOS Settings

How to change your native language

1. Open the Profile tab.
2. Tap the left language pill (your native language).
3. Pick a language in Native Language.

Or go to Settings → Profile → Native Language.

Change the translation language

1. Open a video.
2. Open the mode sheet → Translation.
3. Pick a language.

Useful if you learn a third language through a second one. See Subtitles and translation.

Change the AI language

1. Go to Settings → App.
2. Tap AI Language and pick a language.

Word explanations, Lingo’s answers, word details in Vocabulary and in-app hints use this language. By default it follows your native language.

Change the app language

1. Go to Settings → App → App Language. This opens PlayLingo in iOS Settings.
2. Tap Language and choose one.

The interface language is managed by iOS, so it can differ from your native language.
