## How to Switch Languages

1. Tap the **flag icon** on the top left of the screen
2. Select your preferred language
3. The app **immediately switches** — no restart needed


---

## What Changes?

* All **app interface text** — menus, buttons, labels, navigation
* **Settings screens** — every setting and option
* **System messages** — alerts, confirmations, and prompts
* **RTL layout** activates automatically for Hebrew and Arabic — text and UI elements flip to right-to-left

---

## What Stays in Your Hands?

Some text is yours to write in whatever language you choose, regardless of the app language:

* **Print template text** — Event names, hashtags, and branding
* **SMS and email templates** — The messages guests receive
* **Event names and descriptions** — What you name your events

This means you can run the app in English for your operators while sending guests messages in French, Hebrew, or any other language.

## Tips

* **Match your operators' language** — The app language is for your team. Guest-facing text is set separately.
* **RTL works seamlessly** — Hebrew and Arabic fully support right-to-left layouts. Everything flips naturally.
* **Custom templates stay as-is** — Switching the app language won't change your template designs
* **Request your language** — The ALIVE team actively adds languages based on demand
