# ❓FTAPI Platform: Automatic language detection and language settings

This article explains how the FTAPI platform determines the language for system notifications and user interfaces based on browser settings and user profiles.

## Logic of system notifications

The language of automatic system emails (e.g., notifications about new deliveries) is determined as follows:

-   **New users:** The language set as the default for the respective FTAPI environment is used.
-   **Existing users:** The language stored in the personal user profile is used.

## System language during initial account creation

When you log in for the first time or create a new account, the system determines the language as follows:

### New user via delivery (SecuMails) or SecuRoom invitation

When you log in for the first time or create a new account, the `browser language` is determined for the login process. This is then automatically saved in your user profile.

### New user via manual creation (admin)

During login, the `browser language` is identified first. However, as soon as the login is completed, the language previously set by the administrator in your profile is used.

### System language for subsequent logins

When you log in again with your existing account, the following logic applies to the system language:

-   If you log in via a computer you have used to log in to your account before, the language stored in your `user profile` is used.
-   If you log in using a new computer you have not used before, the `browser language` is used for the login process. Subsequently, after a successful login, the language stored in the `user profile` is applied.

You can adjust your preferred language at any time in your user profile under settings.

**The following table provides a quick overview of the language logic for the various scenarios:**

| **Scenario** | **Language logic** |
| --- | --- |
| First login | Browser language is determined and saved in the profile. |
| Existing user | Language from the user profile (applies system-wide). |
| Manual creation | Admin setting overrides browser language after login. |
