How to Translate CoachAccountable Into Other Languages
We’re occasionally asked if CoachAccountable is available in languages other than English. It isn’t, but you and your clients can now see CoachAccountable in another language, using the solution below.
Google Chrome can help your non-English-speaking clients use CoachAccountable seamlessly in their native language. Here’s how to set it up.
- Open Chrome and click on the three dots in the upper right >> Settings.
- At the bottom, click Advanced.
- Under Languages, click Language.
- Next to English, click More (If English isn’t listed, add it by clicking Add Language).
- Turn Offer to translate pages in this language ON.
- At the bottom, turn Offer to translate pages that aren’t in a language you read to ON
The Result
Now, CoachAccountable should auto-translate into your chosen language. Here’s how it looks for the client (in Spanish, as an example):
And if the coach would also like to translate it into a given language (doesn’t have to be the same as the client’s; your browser is your own), here’s how that looks.
If for some reason the translation doesn’t happen automatically, follow these steps:
- Clear cookies and cache in Google Chrome.
- Exit Google Chrome and reopen.
- If it’s still not translating, right click on the page.
- Click “Translate to [your language]”
- (optional) Click Options and “Always translate English.”
Follow those steps anytime you see CoachAccountable in English.
What’s Translated?
All of the following will be translated:
- In-app menus and labels, such as Actions, Metrics, etc.
- The help center and pop-ups
- Account settings
- Any session notes, messages, or comments you’ve written (unless they’ve already been written in the destination lanugage)
- Basically, everything.
As an added bonus, this setting can help translate ALL pages in English or other languages for your clients, without additional work. You’re potentially making life easier for them even outside of your coaching!
If you’ve been holding off on using CoachAccountable because it’s not offered in your clients’ native language, give this Google Chrome solution a try with your free 30-day trial. And always feel free to reach out with any questions!
