Languages on screens and phones

A stage that speaks several languages (for example German, English and French) reads, with nobody using it, as one screen in one language at a time: every caption, button, date, heading, list, ticker, gesture hint and QR caption in German, then all of them in English, then in French — about six seconds each. Never German buttons under a French greeting.

• The change is soft: texts roll or cross-fade, list cells turn, and nothing changes size.
• Every screen of a wall, and a screen that has just restarted, shows the same language at the same moment.
• When a visitor chooses a language or starts a session, the screen stays in that language until the session ends.
• Blocks that set their own way of showing languages keep it. Set a block's language to follow the session to keep it in the default language until a visitor chooses.
• A language switch and a title reveal stay in the default language.

A stage with one language never turns. Polls, quizzes and walls show their engagement's own words.

The guest page a QR code opens shows your screen's scenes on a phone. Made for a kiosk, they are adapted so a phone reads them well:

• One language. The phone shows the guest's language only; a kiosk's second-language lines are left out.
• Readable lists. A Live list that would be too small switches to a compact phone layout — time, main text and gate on one line, the rest under it — and its rows can still be chosen.
• Details open from their row. Tapping a row zooms its detail open, and the detail covers the list. Where a kiosk detail would be too small to read, it becomes one scrolling column, with labels next to their values and pictures full width.
• Back closes it. The phone's back button or back swipe closes the detail instead of leaving the page.

The kiosk itself is unchanged.
