Language support
OpticCount runs in four languages, and the interface direction (right-to-left or left-to-right) switches automatically with the language. Each user picks a language for themselves.
Supported languages
| Language | Code | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| עברית (Hebrew) | he | right to left | default |
| English | en | left to right | fallback – text missing in another language is shown in English |
| العربية (Arabic) | ar | right to left | |
| Русский (Russian) | ru | left to right |
How to change the language
- Open the side menu (☰ on the phone) and tap the avatar and name at its bottom.
- Pick a language in the Language list. The page reloads in the new language.
The choice is stored on the device (in the browser), so it applies to everyone who signs in from that browser. On a new device, pick the language again. The same panel also holds the Appearance choice (light, dark or following the device) – see User profile.
The app also keeps the language files themselves on the device. So even if the internet connection drops right as you open the app, the interface shows in your language and not as technical text.
Before switching language on the Count page
Switching language reloads the page. Wait for the sync bar to turn green; otherwise queued scans are reloaded and sent only after the page loads.
What changes with the language
- The whole interface: menus, buttons, field labels, tables, dialogs and messages.
- The interface direction: the side menu, text alignment and button placement flip between right-to-left and left-to-right.
- Error and success messages that come from the server.
- The assistant chat moves to the side that matches the direction. The chat is not shown on the Count page.
A language per user
There is no company-level language setting. A manager can work in Hebrew, one worker in English and another in Arabic – on the same company account and in the same count. The data itself (item names, locations, notes) stays as entered.
Language and the barcode scanner
The interface direction does not affect a barcode scanner. Only watch the device keyboard: to scan barcodes with Latin letters, the phone keyboard must be set to English. Details on Barcode scanner.
