Dashboard and bot language
yurna speaks German and English. Here's how to switch the dashboard language and choose the language the bot uses on your server.
yurna is available in German and English. The dashboard and the bot decide independently: everyone picks their own dashboard language, while the bot's language on your server is set in the server settings.
Changing the dashboard language#
- Click the globe icon with the language code (e.g. EN) at the top right of the header. On a phone, the language picker sits at the bottom of the sidebar.
- Choose English or Deutsch.
- The page reloads in the language you picked.
When you're signed in, yurna stores your choice in your account, so the dashboard opens in your language on other devices too.
The bot's language on your server#
Under Dashboard → Server → Settings → Bot language you choose the language yurna writes in on your server. Clicking a language saves it right away.
- Messages for everyone – logs, panels, welcome messages, announcements and audit log reasons – use this server language.
- Replies only one person sees (for example to a command) still use that person's Discord language. If your Discord is set to German, yurna answers you in German and your English-speaking teammate in English.
- Command descriptions in Discord's command picker appear in your Discord language.
If you haven't picked a language yet, yurna uses the preferred language from the Discord server settings, and the dashboard points this out. New servers start in English. Every change is recorded in the changelog.
Note
Texts you write yourself – welcome messages, panel texts or embeds – are sent exactly as you entered them. They aren't translated.
Changing your Discord language#
You set your Discord account's language in Discord under User Settings → Language. The server's preferred language is set by the owner in the Discord server settings.
Common problems#
- yurna replies in German although I use English: Personal replies follow your Discord user settings – the dashboard language doesn't affect them.
- Channel messages arrive in the wrong language: Check Settings → Bot language in the dashboard.
