Languages

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh!

As some of you might noticed, we launched public beta with a language select button, but it disappeared a few days later. We had some problems related to Internet Explorer, and decided to redesign the language select button.

That button looks like something small and unimportant at first, but we noticed that the change of one little button can make a lot of difference, especially when it involves an important feature like different languages.

We faced a particular hard problem: somebody who doesn’t speak English (the default language) might not know the meaning of “Select your language”, and thus he or she won’t know how to change the language. To solve it we came up with a very elegant solution (we think), by just showing a little flag in the footer. Anybody understands the link between language and a flag, and it isn’t “in the way” like a big fat button would be. After clicking on the flag a beautiful dialog pops up, and you’ll be able to select one of the five initial languages.

If your language isn’t there, but you’d love it to be there, just let us know via feedback@imhalal.com. We’ll slowly be adding more languages, but these are the most important we figured. By the way, if you find an error in one of the translations, please let us know as well!

With best regards,
