Hoplr offers configurable platform languages (Dutch, French, English, German, Luxembourgish, Turkish) for the interface and translation options for neighbourhood messages into various languages. Messages are not automatically translated; this must be done manually via the options menu. The translation feature is being rolled out gradually and may not yet be available everywhere. Users are allowed to post messages in any language.
Hoplr is for everyone! Also for those who do not (yet) master the local language. That is why we offer both configurable platform languages and a handy translation feature.
Languages on Hoplr: What is what?
There are two types of languages you can set:
| Type | What it means | Available Languages (Hoplr UI) |
