Feedback in 20+ languages.

If your product is sold in more than one country, your feedback portal needs to speak more than one language. It seems obvious, but most feedback tools treat localization as an afterthought, a half-translated portal, English-only emails, and a settings page that nobody ever finds. Upvoty takes the opposite approach. Localization is built into the core: the portal, the in-app widget, system emails, status names, and even date formats all adapt automatically to the user's preferred language.

Upvoty ships with translations for twenty-plus languages out of the box, maintained by our team so you never have to chase down updates after a release. The set covers the major European languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian), Nordic languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish), Asian languages (Japanese, Korean, simplified and traditional Chinese), and right-to-left languages including Arabic and Hebrew with full RTL layout support.

Auto-detect, per-user override, and per-board defaults

Locale detection in Upvoty works in three layers. By default, we read the browser's Accept-Language header and serve the portal in the matching language. Logged-in users can override this from their profile, and their preference persists across sessions and devices. Workspace admins can set a per-board default language, which is useful when you run a board specifically for a regional market, say, a Japanese-only beta board, regardless of the visitor's browser settings.

The same locale propagates to every email Upvoty sends on your behalf. Status updates, new-post notifications, mention alerts, weekly digests, and changelog emails are all delivered in the user's preferred language. That continuity matters: a user who interacts with a French portal but gets an English email notification immediately feels the seam, and the trust signal you worked hard to build via customization takes a small but real hit.

RTL and locale-correct formatting, not just translation

True localization is more than swapping strings. Arabic and Hebrew require a fully mirrored layout where the entire UI flows right-to-left, navigation moves to the right side, and icons flip directionally. Upvoty handles this automatically without requiring custom CSS overrides. Date formats follow the locale, "12 March 2026" in British English, "March 12, 2026" in American English, "12.03.2026" in German, "12 mars 2026" in French, and so on. Number formatting (vote counts, percentages) follows the locale's thousands and decimal separators.

For teams that need to fine-tune wording, every translatable string in Upvoty can be overridden with a custom value per language. This is the right escape hatch for brand voice: if your French marketing uses "Tu" rather than "Vous", or if your German strings need a specific industry term, you can customize without forking translations.

Localization pairs with the rest of your feedback stack

Multi-language support compounds with the rest of Upvoty. Pair it with the in-app feedback widget and the widget renders in the same language as your product UI, with no extra configuration. Pair it with User SSO and the language preference can be passed in from your own user database, ensuring perfect continuity between product and portal. Pair it with changelog notifications and your release announcements reach users in their language without your team having to maintain parallel announcement copies.

For global products, localization is not a nice-to-have, it is the difference between a feedback channel that international users actually engage with and one they politely ignore. Upvoty's multi-language support is engineered to make that engagement effortless on both sides, for your team and for the users you want to hear from.
