How to change the language of your widgets

Last updated October 31, 2026

Countdown timers and weather widgets can show their labels (like "Days" and "Hours", or the days of the week) in 47 languages. You can also write your own labels, or use one timer for subscribers who speak different languages.

Countdown timers

Open your timer and expand Text and Labels.
Choose a language from Language.
Click Save.

The Text and Labels section of the timer editor with the Language dropdown, Custom labels and Hide labels options

Write your own labels

On paid plans, tick Custom labels and type your own text for each unit, for example "Dagen" instead of "Days". Or tick Hide labels to show only the numbers.

One timer for several languages (Enterprise)

Turn on Multi-language timer and the timer shows each subscriber's language based on a language tag in the code: add ?lang= followed by the language code to the end of the timer's image link, usually using a merge tag from your platform that holds the subscriber's language. For example, ?lang=fr shows French labels.

Most codes are the standard two letters (en, fr, de, es), but a few are different. Use Full list of language tags in the editor for the exact code. For example, Korean is kn, Croatian is cro, Simplified Chinese is csl, Norwegian is no and Filipino is tl.
