Languages
Cookie Munch separates two different "language" settings: the language your banner shows to site visitors, and the language your dashboard UI is displayed in. This page covers the banner side, configured under Banner settings → Targeting → Languages.
Banner language
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Auto-detect | When on, the banner matches the visitor's browser language automatically |
Default language | The fallback culture used when auto-detect is off, or when the visitor's browser language isn't one you support |
Ten languages ship built-in banner translations out of the box:
Code | Language |
|---|---|
| English |
| Deutsch |
| Français |
| Español |
| Português |
| Italiano |
| Nederlands |
| Polski |
| Svenska |
| Dansk |
Pick any of these as the default language from the dropdown. With auto-detect on, a French visitor's browser sends fr, and they see the French banner regardless of what you set as default — the default only kicks in when their browser's language isn't in the supported set, or auto-detect is off.
Note: Every category label, button, and legal disclaimer element in the banner is translated for the selected language — including elements you add from the Ad-Settings panel and custom category labels you define yourself, where you supply the translated text.
Dashboard language
Separately, the Cookie Munch dashboard itself (the app you're using right now) is fully localized — it follows your browser/account locale automatically, independent of any individual site's banner language setting. You can run a French-language banner on a site while managing it from an English dashboard, or vice versa.
Per-region content overrides
Language and geo-targeting are independent, but they compose: you can pair a specific region rule with region-specific banner copy, so (for example) your German-market banner mode and its wording are both tailored, not just the mode.
