+GiGi4TWCG Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I will be traveling to France, Greece, Italy, Switzerland & Germany next month (I live in the U.S.) and have purchased several trackables to place in each of these countries. I am concerned about the possibility of someone not being able to read the information I am putting on the trackable (attached to it). Am I worrying unnecessarily about the language difference?

+GeoCharmer81 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I am fairly sure that the trackable's page gives the option to translate languages. Some people can read other languages, or enough to get an idea of the meaning. Some people will even use a language translation app on their own. I suggest making a simple goal for the trackables. You may even use a translation app and add the goal in the language of the country where you will be placing the trackable on the trackable's page. Quote Link to comment

+Goldenwattle Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Don't worry about it. The trackable is hardly likely to stay in one country, and it would be a very 'busy' page if you supplied every language of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just the language of the country the trackable is placed in first. Quote Link to comment

Then it won't be the local language...unless of course you plan to change the language every time the trackable changed countries. That would work. 1 Quote Link to comment

I sent a promotion trackable to another country just to see if issues here were international. After the CO I sent it to Placed it in a cache, it was Discovered twice, then Retrieved and brought to another country all within a month. Quote Link to comment
