Translate your status page's chrome

Show status words, section headings and the subscribe form in Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, or Japanese; your own content stays exactly as you wrote it.

1. Set the page's default language

Open your status page's settings and find "Language". Pick English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese (Brazil), or Japanese; this is what most visitors see, and it changes immediately for new page loads.

2. Know what does and does not translate

Only the page's own chrome translates: words like Operational, Degraded, Investigating, and the subscribe form. Anything you wrote yourself (incident updates, component names, the page title, your description) always renders exactly as you typed it, in every language, because it is not this product's place to guess what your customers should read there.

3. Share a link in a specific language

Add /l/<code> to your page's address (for example acme.realuptime.io/l/ja) to open it in a specific language regardless of the page's default. Handy for a support link to a non-English-speaking customer, or for embedding in a localized help center.
