Request for Comprehensive Language Support in Coda: French, Spanish, and German Localization

Suggestion Box
1

Dear Coda Team and Community,

I am writing to request comprehensive language support for Coda, specifically for French, Spanish, German and any other language. While I appreciate that Coda currently supports writing, editing content in these languages, the platform’s user interface and core functionality still primarily operate in English.

Key improvements I would like to see include:

  1. Full localization of the user interface, including:
  • Menus
  • Buttons
  • System alerts and warnings
  • Help documentation
  1. Language selection options that allow users to:
  • Choose their preferred interface language
  • Set default language for document creation
  • Easily switch between languages
  1. Expanded language support beyond the current four languages, potentially including more international options

As a user working in a multilingual environment, having a truly localized platform would significantly improve the user experience for teams and individuals who are not primarily English speakers. The current workarounds, such as browser translation or manually requesting language changes, are not ideal for professional collaboration.

I believe implementing comprehensive language support would make Coda more accessible and appealing to a global user base.

To show your support for this feature request, please upvote it. Your feedback can help make Coda a more inclusive and user-friendly platform for everyone.

Thank you for your consideration.

It would be a great thing if Shishir gave the OK to have accounting in euros / European style (1,000.00 instead of just 1,000.00… accounting with Euro currency is not just the symbol…). I had asked for this feature over two years ago (maybe more…), and I was assured that it would be implemented in a short time (I had explained that it was needed for a project involving hundreds of European SMEs…). With the interface only in English, we all manage to work anyway: but the lack of these features also creates big problems with the APIs of other programs and it is impossible to correctly import data in euros or in formats other than dollars. Almost all of Coda.io’s competitors have this feature: implementing it would take no more than a few days, including roll-out (this is what customer support wrote to me at the time), but no one has followed up…

Further localization of currencies and numbers topic started 2018… @shishir what do you think about? any interested outside US? We even proposed to support (for free!) coda.io in this development… let us know so we can organize ourselves differently…
