It is possible to drag the Text Captions panel to the left-hand side so it will be grouped with other panels on the left.

Note! The language settings apply to all texts of your flipbook interface (menus, windows, bars, and tooltips). The content from your PDF will NOT be translated.

Using automatic language selection

With automatic language selection, your flipbook interface language is chosen from the list of the seventeen supported languages based on your readers’ browser language preferences. If none of the preferred browser languages is supported, the default language is used. The preset for the default language is the English language.

If you want to use the automatic language selection, check the Multi-lingual Publication box.

If you want to change the default language for your publication, please do the following:

1. Press the Language Template and choose the language
2. Press the Make Default button:

You will see the default mark next to the language that is set as default.

Note! The default language will only be used when no other supported language is available in the user's browser.
