Language and finding your way around

Choosing the language

You can switch the language at any time; the choice is saved in your account.

  1. Click your avatar (picture or initials) in the top right corner.
  2. Choose Language and then English, Български, Čeština or Srpski.
  3. The page reloads in the chosen language – menus, buttons, course texts and these guides.

Before logging in (and as a guest) use the language menu in the top bar. To set the language permanently, open avatar menu › Preferences › Preferred language.

Note: Texts written by other users (forum posts, messages, submissions) are not translated – they are shown in the language in which they were written. In international teams agree on a common language, usually English.

Getting help

  • Help in the top bar – guides for your role, frequently asked questions, accessibility statement and contacts.
