Language & Localization

Predite is built for traders around the world. Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi attract people from every continent, and not everyone wants to read scanner alerts, P&L breakdowns, and AI signals in English. That's why Predite ships with full UI localization in **6 languages**, with your choice saved permanently to your account and synced across every device you log in from.

This page explains exactly what gets translated, what stays in English (and why), how to change your language in two different places, how the setting persists, and how it interacts with the rest of the platform.

## Supported Languages

Predite's interface is available in the following 6 languages:

Every language listed above is a fully translated locale — not a partial or machine-only fallback. Menus, buttons, form labels, error messages, empty states, tooltips, settings screens, and the wording around your trading data are all localized. We chose these based on where Predite's active trader base actually is, with strong representation across Latin America and Europe.

Localization is available on **every plan** — Starter ($29/mo), Pro ($59/mo), and Bot ($99/mo). There is no language paywall. The feature gating you'll read about later in this doc refers to the underlying *features* themselves (for example, live trading requires the Bot plan), not the language they're displayed in.

## How to Switch Your Language

There are two ways to change the interface language. Both write to the same place, so it doesn't matter which you use — pick whichever is in front of you.

### Option 1: The Topbar Language Selector

The fastest path is the language selector in the topbar, available on every page once you're signed in.

1. Look at the top-right of the topbar, next to your account avatar and the notifications bell. 2. Click the **language selector** — it shows your current language (for example, a globe icon with the current locale code or name). 3. A dropdown opens listing all 6 languages, each shown in its own native spelling. 4. Click the language you want. 5. The interface re-renders **immediately**. You do not need to refresh the page, and you will not be logged out.

This is the recommended way to switch quickly — for instance, if you're sharing your screen with someone who reads a different language, or you just want to A/B a translation against the English original.

### Option 2: Settings

If you prefer to manage it alongside your other account preferences, you can set the language from **Settings**.

1. Open **Settings** from the account menu in the topbar. 2. Go to the **Preferences** (or **General**) section. 3. Find the **Language** field — it's a dropdown with the same 6 options as the topbar selector. 4. Choose your language. 5. The change saves to your account. Depending on the section, it applies live or on the next navigation.

The Settings path is useful when you're doing a first-time setup pass — configuring your default market (Polymarket vs Kalshi), notification preferences, security options, and language all in one sitting. See **[Security](/docs/security)** for the adjacent account-hardening settings on that same screen.

## How Your Choice Persists

Your language preference is **tied to your account**, not just to the browser tab you happen to be using. Predite persists it in two complementary layers:

### What this means in practice

If you're not logged in (for example, on a public marketing or docs page before sign-in), the interface falls back to English or to a browser-language guess, but anything tied to your actual trading account always uses your saved account preference once you authenticate.

## What Gets Translated — and What Stays English

This is the part most people want clarity on, so let's be precise.

### Fully translated

The **entire application chrome** is localized into your chosen language:

In short: the words Predite writes *for* you are translated.

### Intentionally kept in English

Some content stays in English on purpose. There are three categories:

1. **Brand and platform names.** "Polymarket", "Kalshi", "Predite" — proper nouns are never translated. A market named on Polymarket appears exactly as Polymarket lists it.

2. **Standard trading and technical terminology.** Terms like **EV**, **P&L**, **CLOB**, **TWAP**, **API**, **Kelly**, and **EVbps** are industry-standard and are kept in their canonical English form across all locales. These are the lingua franca of prediction-market trading — translating "TWAP" or "CLOB" into six languages would create ambiguity, not clarity, and would make it harder to cross-reference Polymarket/Kalshi's own docs, the **[TWAP Orders](/docs/twap-orders)** guide, or the **[Kelly Calculator](/docs/kelly-calculator)**. Keeping them stable means a German trader and a Brazilian trader are talking about the exact same thing.

3. **Long-form technical reference content.** Deep technical reference material — extended API documentation, detailed strategy specifications in **[Bot Strategies](/docs/bot-strategies)**, and similar long-form reference — is maintained in English only. This is a deliberate quality decision: this content changes frequently and is precise enough that a stale or slightly-off translation would be worse than a correct English version. The *interface around* that content is still translated; the dense reference body itself is English.

### Live market data and user-generated content

## Right-to-Left (RTL) Support

A common question from traders in regions that use right-to-left scripts: **does Predite support RTL layout?**

The short answer: **none of the 6 currently supported languages are RTL**, so the question doesn't arise for the current language set. Português, Español, Français, Deutsch, and Italiano are all written left-to-right, so the standard layout renders them correctly — charts, tables, and the order book all stay in their normal orientation.

Because there are no RTL locales today, Predite's layout engine runs in left-to-right mode throughout, and you won't see mirrored or misaligned components in any of the supported languages. If RTL languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Urdu) are added in the future, RTL layout mirroring would ship alongside them — but that is not part of the current language set.

## Tips and Gotchas

## How Localization Connects to the Rest of Predite

Language is a foundational, cross-cutting setting rather than a standalone feature, so it touches nearly everything you do:

Set your language once, and every corner of Predite speaks it — without ever changing the numbers, the market names, or the standard trading vocabulary you rely on to make decisions.
