About the interface language
The interface language of an assignment determines the language in which buttons, messages and warnings in the assignment are displayed.
When you create a new assignment, the interface language is automatically set to the default language of your assessmentQ environment. More information.
As an author, you can overwrite the interface language for your assignment:
- You can set the interface language to a specific language.
For example, if English is set as the interface language for your assignment, then all buttons, messages and warnings in the assignment will be shown in English. The participant cannot change the interface language. - Or you can set the interface language to the user language.
If the interface language is set to the user language, the buttons, messages and warnings will be displayed in the language that is set in the user's account. The participants can customise the language in their profile settings to change the interface language of the assignment.
