Getting Local

Tech

A key part of being successful on a global scale is to build products that can be localized for a diverse set of users. We have been hard at work making our web applications accessible to an international audience, and we now have a complete Chinese translation for our Scenes Explorer and Account pages. This was a critical step in fully internationalizing our application, changing all the code so we can easily bring in alternate languages.

Users can log in and choose their preferred language from the Account drop-down menu on any page within the Planet Platform UI.
