Language Setting on Toast Devices

You can switch between English, Spanish, French and Simplified Chinese user interfaces directly within your Toast devices. A few things to note:

• The Toast Go® language setting feature will impact guest-facing screens such as those for checkout and payment. If your guest prefers a different language, you must change it for them by toggling the language from the device's main menu.
• This does not affect portions of the POS display that are not part of the user interface or navigation; for example, menu names and items are not translated. To change items and modifiers, visit this article: Customize Menu Item and Modifier Names for POS and KDS.
• Language settings are currently set by device, not by user. If a user changes the POS language and logs out, the login screen will also be in that language since it is set at the device level.
• The language setting applies to the entire app. For example, if you change the language while in KDS Mode, the POS view on your device will also be updated to the new language.
