If you want to change specific game’s language, you can do it individually for each game while creating or editing the game on the “Configure” screen. Then all buttons, links and help text will be in this language inside the app. This does not translate tasks’ texts.
Start screen’s language – it is possible to change also log in screen language. If you choose one language, it will be always shown on the login screen, even if the games are in different languages. By default start screen language is in English, if you want to change it go to Menu > Account settings > App > Start screen language.
Creating private languages
Loquiz allows users to create any number of personalized and game-themed languages based on any other language in the system.
To create your own language, go to Menu -> Translations.
NB! You need administrator or owner rights to do this.
Click NEW and fill in the English and Native names for a new language.
The icon is used in the task list and a dropdown box. Please use a small image for this. A good place to get country flags is Country Flags.
Base Language
The base language is the language you base your new language on. If there is an empty string in your new language, string from Base Language is displayed instead. So if you want to create your own personalized English language you do not have to translate everything. It is enough if you translate just the strings you want to change. Everything else comes from base language.
Translating language strings
Click Translations to start translating your new language. You will see each string in Base Language, the English explanation of where the string appears and then box to type in your text string. Here is also a video on how to translate Loquiz app to your own language.
It is not always very clear in what form the specific string appears, so after translating a language please make sure to test it out. You only need to translate the strings you want to change vs. base language.
Activating new language
Go to Menu -> Account settings -> PRO, click on the “Available Languages” box and add your newly created language if it is not already added.
Go to Games -> Open Game -> Configure screen and choose the language you just created.
Testing the language
Always test the new language to make sure the text fits the screen and translations make sense for the player.
To test, just start a game with a new language.
