Languages — Interface Language, Translate All and the Language AI Is Asked In
The nine interface languages and how they are detected and changed, email language, how Translate all puts prompts and answers into a language you read, and the separate rules for the language prompts are scanned in and articles are written in.
Interface language
Citadex is available in nine interface languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic (right to left). The first visit follows your browser language; your choice is saved in the browser and on your account.
Where to change it: the language picker in the sidebar user menu, or Settings → Preferences. Alert emails, digests, team invitations and other emails are sent in this language too. The help center shows Chinese, Japanese or English articles to match the interface.
Translate all
When you track several countries, prompts and AI answers are often in languages you don't read. The Workspace, Prompt Library, Prompt Tracking, Citation Sources, Competitors, Content and other pages have Translate all:
- Click Translate all and choose the target language under Translate into (any language the app translates into).
- Prompts, page titles, answers and so on are translated in one go; a progress dialog shows how many are done.
- Turn on Show originals to compare with the original at any time; Turn off translation restores the page.
Translation only changes what you see: checks still ask in the original language, and the questions AI receives, citation counts and scan data are unaffected. AI answers in the evidence drawer can also be translated one by one, and a results report can be translated before you share it. See One-click translation.
The language prompts are scanned in
Every prompt belongs to a market and is scanned in that market's language and country. One safeguard: in a Chinese, Japanese or Korean market, a prompt with no CJK characters is scanned in English.
When Prompt Tracking detects prompts whose language doesn't match their market, it shows a banner ("n prompt(s) are in a market whose language doesn't match") with Move to matching market, which moves them to the market for the detected language and creates one if needed. The add-prompt dialog gives the same warning before saving.
The language articles are written in
Answer Assets has an article-language dropdown: auto (from the source or prompt) or one of the nine languages. Strategy articles use the target market's language. Headings, tables, FAQ and body are all written in that language; proper nouns keep their original spelling.
Publishing per market
Each market can have a publishing base URL (for example your /ja section). Publishing a localized article to a channel in a different site language asks you first.
Frequently asked questions
My interface is in English but the article is in Japanese. Articles follow the market or the article-language dropdown, not the interface. Check the prompt's market.
Does translation change scan results? No. It is for display only.
Can one project have two languages? Yes, as two markets. Scans, prompts and results are kept apart per market.
