CheckTick is available in 13 languages. You can use CheckTick in your preferred language, and the interface will automatically adapt to show all buttons, labels, and messages in that language.

Note: This document covers CheckTick's interface languages (menus, buttons, labels). For information about translating survey content into multiple languages, see Multi-language surveys.

Choosing Your Language

1. Log in to CheckTick
2. Click your username in the top navigation bar to open your Profile
3. Find the Language dropdown menu

CheckTick will remember your language choice and use it every time you log in.

For Developers & Self-Hosters

Technical Implementation

CheckTick uses Django's internationalization (i18n) framework with automatic language detection:

Language Detection Priority: 1. User's saved language preference (stored in database) 2. Session language 3. Browser's Accept-Language header 4. Default: English (UK)

Key Components: - LocaleMiddleware: Detects language from session and browser - UserLanguageMiddleware: Custom middleware that applies user's saved preference - UserLanguagePreference model: Stores per-user language choices

Translation Workflow

For contributors helping with translations:

1. Translation source files: /locale/{language}/LC_MESSAGES/django.po
2. Reference tables: /docs/languages/{language}.md (linked above)
3. Import command: docker compose exec web python manage.py import_translations

For developers adding new translatable strings:

from django.utils.translation import gettext as _
message = _("Your translatable text here")

Then generate and compile:

docker compose exec web python manage.py makemessages -a
docker compose exec web python manage.py compilemessages
docker compose restart web
