To do so, go to your device's Settings app, select Salto Homelok > Preferred Language and choose the desired language of the app.
Android
For Android devices, the app automatically detects the default language of your device. If your language is not supported in the app then the app will display in English.

This process may be different for specific models of Android devices.
