How do I change the language of the controls on the Vidyard player?

Most modern browsers allow you to determine the language (or languages) in which you prefer to receive information on the web.

Webpages that have an available French translation, for example, will display the page in French to users who have configured their browser to show French as a priority.

The same browser settings determine the language of the controls on the Vidyard Player.

Supported languages for the Vidyard player

The Vidyard player has available translations for both English and French. Regional differences for English and French do not matter.

For example, the player will display the appropriate language for browsers that are set to display either French or French (Canada).

If a browser is set to have a language other than French or English as a priority, the language of the player controls will default to English.

Change language settings for your browser

A browser's default language is originally determined by the language set for the computer's operating system (Windows, MacOS, etc.). The language settings for the browser can be subsequently changed to differ from the OS.
