Pinecast is translated
Starting today, Pinecast is available in four languages other than English: Danish, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
From the beginning, Pinecast was built with localization in mind: we’ve followed best practices for formatting text so that when we inevitably decided to launch in another language, we’d be able to hit the ground running. Thanks to ten years of planning ahead, we were able to launch four new languages this month.
Changes to your dashboard
Section titled “Changes to your dashboard”If you’re an existing customer, your dashboard will probably continue showing you English text. If you’d prefer to use one of the translations, you can change the language we use for your account by visiting the Settings page.
The langauge that you set in the dashboard is the language shown for you. The language of your podcast is always set on the settings page for your podcast specifically, and your podcast can have any language, not just the ones Pinecast is translated into. Your language preference affects:
- The dashboard
- Emails you receive from Pinecast
We do not use your language preference to identify you, and your language choice remains private.
Changes for your listeners
Section titled “Changes for your listeners”Your content
Section titled “Your content”If your podcast is in one of the languages Pinecast is translated into, you’ll notice some improvements:
- We’ll automatically start using the appropriate translations for text included in your show notes, like when you add a link to your Tip Jar.
- If you use our podcast websites or short links features, the text in the preview images you see when sharing a link on social media should be translated.
- The embeddable players for your show will be translated into the language of your podcast.
- Podcast websites hosted on Pinecast will show some translated text as appropriate. Note that some English text may still appear: this is likely customizable in your Site Builder.
Your Tip Jar
Section titled “Your Tip Jar”If you have paid subscribers who use your show’s Tip Jar, they’ll start seeing translated text in emails and in their tip dashboard. They’ll also have the option to change their language preference after logging into the tips dashboard.
Feedback
Section titled “Feedback”We’ve done our best to translate Pinecast well, but we may have made some mistakes. If you notice any issues with the translations, please don’t hesitate to reach out to support@pinecast.com to let us know.
Also, please let us know if you speak a language that you’d like to see Pinecast translated into. We’re keen to expand our localization coverage in the future!
