  • French (fr)
  • German (de)
  • Swedish (sv)

Init

The default language of the CometChat UI Kit is set to the language in your browser settings. If browser language does not belong to the list of supported languages, it fallbacks to English language. You could also override the default language. This method allows you to override default or pre-defined text strings with custom translations or alternative values. This also supports adding new languages to the list of supported languages.

//override default language

//override default strings

  de: {
    USERS: "Nutzer",
  },
});

  ro: {
    CHATS: "Chat-uri",
  },
});
