🌐 How to change Language
Across the entire site, our users can change their current language via the bottom of our left-hand sticky menu bar on desktop, or the bottom of the burger menu option on mobile devices.
Clicking on the circular icon with a two-letter language code on desktop devices will open a pop-up window where users can change the language they are browsing Emojipedia in.
Changing language from a site page will refresh that page in the newly selected language (e.g. ✨ Sparkles in English will update to ✨ 闪亮 in Japanese).
Additionally, our search results page now features a prominent "🌐 Search in another language" option, which also opens the same language selection pop-up window as the menu bar.
