Switching language
PlanStudyBoost is available in English, French (Français), and Dutch (Nederlands). You can switch at any time. Once you're signed in, your choice is saved to your account.
Where to switch
| Account type | Computer or tablet | Phone | Saved to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student / Parent / Supervisor | EN / FR / NL at the bottom of the sidebar | More in the bottom bar, then EN / FR / NL | Your account |
| Administrator | EN / FR / NL at the bottom of the admin sidebar | The menu (☰) at the top, then EN / FR / NL | Your account |
| Guest (not signed in) | Below the form on the sign-in and registration pages | Same | This browser only, until you sign in or create an account |
The Profile page has no language setting.
Students, parents, and supervisors
On a computer or tablet
- Near the bottom of the sidebar, below 👤 Profile and ❓ Help, find the EN, FR and NL buttons.
- Select your language. The page reloads in that language.
On a phone
Phones don't show the sidebar. Use the More menu instead:
- Select More in the bottom bar.
- Near the bottom of the menu, below Profile, select EN, FR or NL. Your current language is highlighted.
- The page reloads in that language.
Next to the language buttons is the theme button (🌙 Dark / ☀️ Light). See Light or dark theme.
Your choice is saved
Your language is saved to your account. All pages, such as the dashboard, calendar, subjects, grades, analytics and notifications, use it on every device you sign in on. It stays the same after you sign out and back in, until you pick another language.
Administrators
The admin panel has its own EN, FR and NL buttons, in the bottom group of the admin sidebar, below 👤 Profile and ❓ Help.
- On a computer or tablet, find them at the bottom of the admin sidebar. On a phone, open the menu (☰) at the top of the screen first.
- Select your language. The page reloads in that language.
Your choice is saved to your account, so the admin panel and the main app both use it.
Guests (not signed in)
Before you sign in, you can pick a language here:
- Sign-in, registration and password reset pages, and invite links: the EN, FR and NL buttons are below the form.
- Home page and Help: the buttons are at the top of the page. Phones don't show them there, so on a phone, pick your language on the sign-in or registration page.
What happens to this choice:
- When you create an account, with email and password or with Continue with Google, the new account keeps the language you picked. If you didn't pick one, the account starts in English. You can change it later at any time.
- When you sign in to an account you already have, the account's saved language is used, even if you picked another one on the sign-in page. To change it, switch after you sign in.
- When you sign out, the pages go back to English until you pick a language again.
Troubleshooting
The page still shows the old language after switching.
Reload the page manually (F5 or ⌘R). If the issue persists, clear your browser cookies for this site and try again.
I signed in but the app is in the wrong language.
Your account has its own saved language, and it's used whenever you sign in. Switch once with EN / FR / NL: at the bottom of the sidebar, or on a phone under More. The app remembers your choice from then on.
I can't find the language buttons.
- Computer or tablet: at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Phone: select More in the bottom bar.
- Admin panel: at the bottom of the admin sidebar. On a phone, open the menu (☰) first.
- Not signed in: below the form on the sign-in page.
