Language on Website and Apps

Web Browser

When you visit Luma on the web without a saved account language preference, we detect your browser’s language settings and display the site in that language if we have a translation available.

For example, if your browser is set to Traditional Chinese (used in Hong Kong and Taiwan), you’ll see Traditional Chinese on event pages. If it’s set to Simplified Chinese, you’ll see Simplified Chinese.

When you’re signed in and have a saved language preference, the website uses that preference instead of your browser’s language. You can change it in your Luma Account Preferences. Changing your browser’s language doesn’t replace your saved preference.

iOS App

The iOS app automatically displays in your phone’s system language if we support it.

To override the language for just the Luma app, go to iOS Settings → Luma → Preferred Language and choose your preferred language.

Android App

The Android app uses your device’s language settings, or an app-specific language preference if you’ve set one, when we support that language.

Changing your device or app language changes the mobile interface, but doesn’t replace your saved account language for the website and emails. To change that preference, use your Luma Account Preferences.

Translating Event Pages

Luma’s interface is translated by our team, but event content like the title and description is written by the host. When a guest’s language differs from the event’s, a translate icon appears on the event description. Tapping it translates the event title and description with an automatic machine translation service, and tapping again shows the originals.

The machine translation can’t be edited, so a word won’t always carry the exact meaning you intend. For full control over what guests read in another language, add your own translation directly into the event description, for example a Spanish version below your English text. Guests then see your exact wording instead of a machine translation.

Language for Email Communications

Email language works differently from the website because we can’t detect browser settings in emails:

For recipients with a saved language preference: We use that preference for emails such as event invitations, reminders, and updates. Some messages, such as sign-in codes, can use the language of the sign-in screen instead.
For recipients without a saved language preference: Event invitations use the host’s language. For example, if you’re using Luma in Spanish and invite new people, they’ll receive Spanish invitations.

We can save a language preference when someone creates an account or signs in without an existing preference. Simply opening an invitation link doesn’t save a new preference, and signing in again doesn’t replace one that’s already saved. You can update your saved language in Luma Account Preferences.

Currency Display

Your language preference affects how currencies are displayed throughout Luma. Different locales format numbers and currency differently based on regional conventions.

How Currency Symbols Change by Language

Your language setting determines which currency gets displayed with the simple symbol ($) and which currencies show with a prefix. Your local currency always uses the familiar $ symbol, while foreign currencies are displayed with country prefixes for clarity.

For example, if you’re viewing a $5 USD ticket and a $5 AUD ticket:

With English (US) selected: USD appears as $5, AUD appears as A$5
With English (Australia) selected: AUD appears as $5, USD appears as USD 5

Number Formatting

Prices will be formatted differently based on your language preference. For example, a €1,000 ticket would display as:

English (US): €1,000.00
German: 1.000,00 €
French: 1 000,00 €

Right-to-Left (RTL) Language Support

We do not currently support right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian. While these languages are important to us, implementing proper RTL support requires significant changes to our interface. We’re working on adding RTL language support in the future.
