Im battling to get my app to translate to Polish which is one of the support languages. I know it should happen automatically but glide doesn’t seem to translate the whole site. Does anyone know if this is a big or if in fact the translation only applies to certain elements?

Nothing seems to be translating - the device is set to Polish but no elements on the site Translate - they remain in English. This includes all the web base text etc

If you expect all elements on the site to be translated automatically, then Glide doesn’t support it, they only support translating some default button names, I don’t have a full list here.

You would have to work with your data structure to have a dynamic translation based on a language choice the user makes inside the app. I’m not sure Glide can access the language settings of a device.

An alternative seems to be this.
