Languages

Sign In ships in 13 languages. Captive Portal languages are set per Sign-In Context; Self-Service Portal languages are set per Organization.

The Captive Portal and the Self-Service Portal both support Sign In’s 13 built-in languages. Because the two portals serve different audiences — one-off guests versus returning users managing their own devices — their language settings live on different levels:

Captive Portal languages — configured per Sign-In Context. A venue-specific portal might only offer the languages spoken at that venue.
Self-Service Portal languages — configured at the Organization level. The Self-Service Portal is shared across the Organization’s Sign-In Contexts, so its language set is defined once per Organization.

Built-in languages

Code	Language
`en`	English
`sv`	Swedish
`no`	Norwegian
`da`	Danish
`fi`	Finnish
`de`	German
`fr`	French
`es`	Spanish
`it`	Italian
`nl`	Dutch
`et`	Estonian
`lt`	Lithuanian
`lv`	Latvian

If a visitor’s browser requests a locale that isn’t enabled, the portal falls back to its configured default.

From the Context admin, open Administration → Configuration → Common Settings. The Languages section lists which of the 13 built-in locales are offered to guests on this Context’s Captive Portal. Enable only what applies to your venues — fewer languages mean a simpler portal.

How a guest’s language is chosen

If the guest’s browser Accept-Language header matches an enabled locale, the portal uses it.
Otherwise, the Context’s default language is used.

Self-Service Portal languages (per Organization)

Organization-level language settings live with the Organization’s own admin pages (not inside a Context). The enabled set applies to the Self-Service Portal that all of the Organization’s Sign-In Contexts share.

Typical pattern: the Organization enables a broad set of languages, while individual Contexts trim the Captive Portal list down to only the languages their guests actually speak.
