We have localized Book Creator for certain languages, although there is a slightly different set of languages available depending on whether you're using the iPad app or the online app.

A screenshot of a tutorial on how to use Book Creator. The text reads: "Book Creatorへようこそ このクイックチュートリアルでは、最初の本の製作過程を順を追って説明します。 1. ページにコンテンツを追加する 「+」ボタンをタップすれば、ページにアイテムを追加することができます。写真や動画、テキストやサウンドを選択したり、ペンで絵を描いたり文字を書いたりすることも可能です。 2. コンテンツを配置する 指一本で、ページの全アイテムを移動させることができます。また、青いサークルを使ってリサイズすることも可能です。 ヒント: また、2本の指でねじる動作を行えば、画像やテキストを回転させることが可能です."

A pop-up window titled "EDIT ACCOUNT" shows fields for name, email, and language. The name is "Suewan Kemp", and the email is "<a href="mailto:suewan@bookcreator.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">suewan@bookcreator.com</a>". The language is set to English, with a dropdown menu showing options including Danish, Dutch, Finnish, and French. There is a photo of a woman on the right side of the window. The text "Save changes" is also visible.


Book Creator for iPad

The languages available in Book Creator for iPad are: 

Once you set the language for your whole iPad, Book Creator will then display in that language (as long as it is one of those above).

A screenshot of the iPad settings, with the "Language &amp; Region" settings open. The iPad language is set to English. The preferred language order is English, Deutsch, Español, and Français. The region is set to United Kingdom.

Setting your iPad language

Go to iPad Settings > General > Language & Region. Here you can change the main language for your iPad.

If the main language you use for your iPad is not a language that Book Creator has been translated into (for example Swedish, Danish, Norwegian) then Book Creator will use the next language on the list that it supports. 

Under the section which says Preferred Language Order, you can add a language, or change the order by tapping Edit on the top right.

So, in the example below, the iPad is set to Swedish (Svenska). But Book Creator isn't translated into Swedish, so it will choose the next available language in the list - which in this case is German (Deutsch).

If I wanted Book Creator to display in English instead, I would tap Edit and move English to the top of the list.

The menu shows options for "Flygplansläge", "Wi-Fi", "Bluetooth", "Notiser", "Kontrollcenter", "Stör ej", "Allmänt", "Visning och ljusstyrka", "Bakgrundsbild", "Ljud", and "Lösenkod". The "Allmänt" option is selected, and the right side of the screen displays "Språk och region" with options for "iPad-språk", "FÖREDRAGEN SPRÅKORDNING", and "REGIONFORMAT". The preferred language order includes "Svenska", "Deutsch", "English", "Español", and "Français".

Other language options in Book Creator

Book Creator online does have the option of speech to text in 120 different languages, as well as having your book read to you in multiple languages (depending on which device you're using).
