Portuguese on Mobile - User Guide

Portuguese on Mobile provides full Portuguese language support for the Redlist mobile app, enabling Portuguese-speaking users to work more efficiently by accessing all app features, navigation, and forms in their preferred language.

Portuguese on Mobile is available in the Redlist mobile app for iOS and Android. Users must update to the latest version of the app that includes Portuguese translations (available from the App Store or Google Play Store). The app automatically detects the device's language setting and displays the interface in Portuguese when Portuguese is set as the device language.

Steps:

1. Update the Redlist mobile app to the latest version from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android)

2. On your mobile device, open Settings and navigate to Language & Region (or equivalent language settings)

3. Set Portuguese as the primary device language

4. Force-quit the Redlist app and reopen it

5. The app interface will now display in Portuguese, including all menus, buttons, and system messages

When Portuguese is enabled on a mobile device, the following Redlist mobile app elements display in Portuguese:

• Main navigation menus (for example, Inspections, Tasks, Forms)

• Action buttons such as Submit, Save, Sync, Add Photo, and Edit

• System dialogs, confirmation messages, warnings, and error notifications

• Form field labels and helper text on standard Redlist mobile forms

• Settings screens and preference options

Portuguese on Mobile is controlled by the device's language setting; there is no separate in-app language toggle. Once the device is configured for Portuguese, Redlist automatically detects and applies the Portuguese interface.

Steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your iOS or Android device

2. Navigate to General (or equivalent) and tap Language & Region (naming may vary by OS)

3. Set Portuguese as the primary system language

4. Close Redlist completely (swipe it away from the app switcher)

5. Reopen Redlist and verify that menus, buttons, and system messages are shown in Portuguese

NOTE: Changing the system language affects all apps on the device, not just Redlist, so confirm users are comfortable using the OS in Portuguese.

Redlist mobile uses the operating system's language priority list to determine which language to display. If Portuguese is not available or not set as a preferred language, Redlist falls back to another supported language such as English.

When new features are added to Redlist mobile, the team will work to update Portuguese translations, though there may be a delay for new verbiage to be translated across all supported languages.

1. Roll out in phases: Start with a small pilot group of Portuguese-speaking users, gather feedback on clarity of translations and terminology, and then extend to all eligible users.

2. Keep devices and app versions current: Standardize on supported OS versions and require the latest Redlist app version so all users have the same localized experience.

3. Provide feedback on translations: If users identify translation errors or unclear wording, document the issues and share them with Redlist support so the translations can be improved over time.

Issue: The app is still in English after changing the device language to Portuguese.

Solution: Confirm that Portuguese is set as the primary device language (not just added as a secondary language). Fully close and reopen the Redlist app or restart the device to apply the new setting.

Issue: Only some parts of the interface appear in Portuguese.

Solution: Mixed-language screens may indicate that translations for certain features have not yet been completed or updated. Check for app updates and install the latest version. If the issue persists, note the specific screens and report them to Redlist support.

Issue: Translations appear incorrect or confusing.

Solution: Document the specific phrases or screens that need improvement and share feedback with Redlist support so the translations can be reviewed and corrected.

Portuguese on Mobile provides a fully localized Redlist mobile experience by displaying the app interface in Portuguese based on the device's language settings. By updating to the latest Redlist mobile version, setting Portuguese as the device language, and aligning training materials and support documentation, teams can deliver a more accessible and efficient mobile experience for Portuguese-speaking users.
