Change your Storytell language

Storytell lets you switch the interface language at any time. This includes navigation labels, buttons, and system-generated text. You can set Storytell to a specific language or let it detect your preferred language automatically.

When You’ll Use This

  • You want Storytell to appear in a different language

  • You accidentally switched languages and need to switch back

  • You want Storytell to match your browser or system language automatically

How Language Localization Works

Storytell determines your interface language in two ways:

1. Automatic (Default)

By default, Storytell uses your primary browser language.

In Chrome, you can change your primary browser language by:

  1. Going to chrome://settings/languages

  2. Moving your preferred language to the top (primary)

  3. Storytell will automatically switch to match

2. Manual Override

You can override automatic detection by selecting a language directly in Storytell.
Once selected, the interface updates immediately.

How to Change Your Language

1. Open the Settings Panel

  1. From the Home screen, open the sidebar.

  2. Click Settings.

2. Select Your Preferred Language

  1. In the Language section, open the dropdown.

  2. Choose one of the following:

    • Detect automatically — Storytell adjusts based on your browser or system settings.

    • A specific language (e.g., English, Spanish, etc.).

Once you select a language, Storytell updates the interface immediately.

Notes & Tips

  • Switching languages does not change the content of your documents, prompts, or files, only the interface.

  • If you ever see Storytell in an unexpected language, check that Detect automatically isn’t enabled.

  • Some features or labels may briefly appear in English if translations are still being updated.
