| + | ===== How can I change the language of the application? ===== | ||

| + | The application itself (excluding the maps) does use the same language than the device. If it hasn't been translated in this language, English is used. [[https://www.alpinequest.net/#translations|Here is the list of available translations]].\\ | ||
| + | Concerning the maps, each of them have their own policy. The default maps displays the names using the language of their respective countries. Other maps only use English or a specific language. Please see more details in the [[en:help:v2:maps#maps_faq|Maps F.A.Q.]] | ||
