Better support for localization

I often run studies that target speakers of a specific non-English language, and it's important that the study materials be in the target language. Localization in Gorilla is fairly good and has improved a lot, but there are a number of missing features. Two that come to mind are (a) localization of pop-up boxes (e.g. when a participant tries to proceed without giving an answer); (b) non-English spellcheckers (or at least the ability to disable the English spellchecker), etc.

This problem is why I probably will not be using Gorilla for many experiments in the future. Once they change that, I'd come back to it. But the lack of language choice is a huge problem. I don't understand how they ever rolled out a version that doesn't have that.
The fact that these requests have been on this forum for 2 or even 3 years without any progress makes the company seem short-sighted and out-of-touch.
This is academia, right? You know that most of the desired participants in the world do not speak/read English as a primary language, right? The lack of designers' consideration for other language users is really holding researchers back.

Strongly agree!!!!!
I find it extremely strange that there is no option to choose which language automatic notifications and emails are in. We can't even customize them to add our own translations, which should be an option anyway.
There are several other suggestions listed that talk about this. Be sure to upvote all of them!

Another case: when you submit a questionnaire you get the message "Please wait while your responses are uploaded" with no option to change it to another language.
