Feature Request: Change language of the Square Point of Sale app within app settings

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Change App Language to French

 

Hello,

I am new to whole Square and POS.

I live in Quebec, Canada. 

Is there a copy of app in French?

By law, you cannot show contents in English only in Quebec. It should be French or English/French, but not English only.

The info is good. 

 

The issue is that I work (and invoice) in different languages, so the idea of having to change my language settings from one to the other is cumbersome. Plus, since I work mainly with my laptop, it asks that I RE-START for every change in language setting.

I have the similar issue but with Square invoices.

Clients in Quebec often just don't understand English.

Why there are no language switcher for people speaking language other than English?
