Spun's interface is available in English, Hebrew (plus a "Hebrew (Religious)" variant with religious wording), Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Danish, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Urdu, Nepali, Sindhi and Yiddish. Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu, Sindhi and Yiddish run right-to-left and the whole layout flips. The interface language pickers list only these languages, because a language is offered there only once the interface is translated into it.
Interface languages vs content languages: the interface languages are what Spun's own screens are written in. Content features work in many more languages (over 100): translating chats and messages, AI compose, sending in a contact's language, a contact's language and Translate Labels all offer the longer list. Choosing one of those for a chat does not change your interface.
Where the language comes from: the language you pick on the sign-up page (or, if you never pick one, the language of the Spun site you signed up on) becomes your interface language, so you see Spun in that language from your first login on any device. On the "Complete Your Profile" step Spun stays in English but suggests the languages most used in your country as one-tap buttons under your email (the language menu at the top of that card also lists them first), and you can change the language any time later in Settings. Change it any time under App language in the Language section of Settings → General; the choice is saved to your account, not to the browser.
What follows you and what follows the organization: your interface language is personal. Each teammate picks their own, sees the screens and the built-in label names in it, and gets Spun's emails to them in it. The organization also has a default language, first set from the language of the person who created it; a manager can change it in Settings → General → Language → Default contact language. Spun falls back to it when there is no personal choice to go by: as the language of contacts that have none of their own, for emails to a teammate who has not chosen a language yet, and for messages to the organization as a whole. A new line you add starts with the business's default language.
The Language section in Settings → General: one block titled Language holds the three language settings, each with a one-line explanation under it. App language (every user): menus and buttons in Spun, for you only, and it follows your account on every device. Default contact language (managers only): used for automatic messages to contacts who have no language set, and for the account’s emails and summaries; it applies to everyone in the account. Automation fallback language (managers only): Weave auto-replies use it when no rule, contact, conversation or voice-note language is known; choose Detect automatically to reply in the language the customer wrote in. If a change cannot be saved, the setting goes back to its previous value and an error appears under the section, so what you see is always what is saved; a picker is briefly disabled while its change is being saved.
How to use
- Go to Settings → General.
- In the Language section, choose your language under App language.
- The whole inbox switches to that language right away, and it stays that way on every device you sign in on.
- Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu, Sindhi and Yiddish flip the layout to right-to-left.
- Your choice also sets the language of the emails Spun sends you. It does not change your teammates' language or the language you translate chats into.
