If text is uneditable, we'd like to be able to automatically have that text translated into the community / local language (ex: German, Spanish, French, etc.)
Translate your community experience in 5 languages
You asked for this one. A lot. It's here.
Every piece of your member experience (buttons, emails, notifications, checkout flows, courses, events, search, settings, and more) now renders in your community's language. Set it once in General Settings. Your entire member experience updates instantly.
Five languages at launch: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and German. English remains the default.
How it works
Go to General Settings and select your Community Language. All members see the translated UI instantly. Outside your community (login, landing pages, checkout), Heartbeat detects the visitor's browser language automatically. New members feel at home before they've joined.
Heads up: The admin dashboard is still in English for now. Your members get the full translated experience, but your side doesn't (yet). Admins see cases of English mixed with your community language.
Your content stays yours. Posts, lessons, docs, and events remain exactly as you wrote them. This update translates Heartbeat's UI, not your words.
Translation quality and adding languages
This is a big surface area. We've validated every string across all five languages, but real communities surface things that testing doesn't. If something looks off (a mistranslation, an awkward phrase, anything that doesn't feel right) reach out to us at support@heartbeat.chat.
Need a language that isn't on the list yet? Let us know through support. Community demand is how we prioritize what comes next.
Building this right is a community effort. Thank you for being part of it.

We tried to translate all the member-facing text we could, but we may have missed a couple spots. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you see something member-facing that’s still in English.
@Charlotte Salvanes all of those should be translated now!

I also think that this feature is an absolute MUST. We want to create a community for a youth center here in Germany. We need to translate UI texts into German for this to work.
Thank you.

Need Portuguese (Brazil). At least give us the option to translate the front-end on the fly. This way we can rename something that fits better to our clients

This is a must if you want your platform to be use worldwide. I need Spanish translation of the hardcore modules. More than 500 millions people speak Spanish around the world. Spanish is second after English. please give us the freedom to translate ourself or you do it. Thanks

I believe it's essential for any community app to offer native support. It’s inconsistent to have menu items in English while the rest is in Swedish. Could you provide a plugin or extension to translate all strings into English? This is vital for our community and decision-making, as the lack of support for our native language is hindering us. Come on, it's almost 2025—everyone is asking for this!
