Use the app in Spanish

Switch the app between English and Spanish from one row on your profile — it applies immediately, and the choice is stored on your account rather than on the device.

Slug Stats ships in English and Spanish, and switching is one tap. The choice belongs to your account rather than to the handset, so setting it on the phone also sets it on the website, and a new phone comes up in the language you already chose as soon as it has synced.

On your phone

  1. On Home, tap your initial in the top right to open Profile.
  2. Under APP, tap Language — the first row, above Theme. It already shows which language you are on, and the screen opens with the same line the website prints: "Choose the language Slug Stats uses. Stat abbreviations like HR, K and RBI stay the same in every language."
  3. Tap Español. The tick moves and the app is in Spanish immediately: "Applies immediately." is printed under the list and there is nothing to restart.
  4. It works with no signal — the phone writes the choice down locally and sends it on. If it could not reach the server it says "Saved on this phone. It'll sync when you're back online." and keeps the language you picked meanwhile — nothing is lost, and there is nothing to try again.

On the web

  1. Open Profile. On a wide window, click your name at the foot of the sidebar and choose Profile, the first item in the menu. On a narrower window it is the round button with your initial in the top right-hand corner.
  2. In the Settings card, Language is between Theme and the help and feedback buttons. Click Español.
  3. The page redraws in Spanish straight away. The line under the two buttons is the one to read first: "Choose the language Slug Stats uses. Stat abbreviations like HR, K and RBI stay the same in every language."
  4. The choice is saved to your account as well as to this browser, so your phone picks it up on its next sync.

Both lists name each language in its own words — Español rather than "Spanish" — which is not decoration. Somebody who has set a shared phone to a language they cannot read has to be able to find their own language in that list to get back out, and a list written in a language they cannot read would not let them.

What changes is the app: the screens, the buttons, the outcomes in the recorder, the alerts and the season wrap. What deliberately does not change is the stat vocabulary — HR, K, RBI, AVG and the rest stay as they are in both languages, because that is how the game is written down. Dates follow the language you picked; a batting average does not, and stays in the .312 form rather than becoming 0,312.

Before you sign in, the phone follows the phone's own language instead, so the sign-in and create-account screens may already be in Spanish on a Spanish handset. Nothing is stored at that point — whatever you later pick on this screen wins over it for good.

Two things stay in English whatever you choose, and it is better to say so than to leave you looking for a setting. These help guides, the glossary, the calculators and the rest of the public website are English-only on purpose — so this page will not turn into Spanish however the app is set — and the emails we send are still English too. Everything inside the app, on both platforms, is translated.
