The Hummingbird app can automatically apply the related language if the user sets their device to a specific dialect. 

Languages with support dialects

Hummingbird will automatically apply the related language to its experience if a user sets their device to a specific dialect. For example, if a user lives in Canada and speaks Canadian French (a dialect which is not currently supported), the Hummingbird app will automatically deliver its content in French (Metropolitan) rather than defaulting to English (US).

The dialects that will redirect to their related language include:

  • Spanish dialects → Spanish (ES)
  • French dialects → French (FR)
  • Portuguese dialects → Portuguese (BR)
  • Chinese dialects → Chinese Simplified (ZH)

Languages with no related dialects

The following supported languages do not have related dialects, so the user must use a supported language or default to English (US).

  • Czech (Czech Republic)
  • German (Germany)
  • Japanese (Japan - Standard)
  • Russian (Russia)
  • Swedish (Sweden)
