Specify the language in which the landing page should be displayed to the visitor. By default, the page is displayed in the language that you have specified in your account. You can overwrite the language or select to set the language depending on the browser of the visitor. If the language sent by the browser is not available, the language set in your account will be used as an alternative.

The interface texts, action buttons and country names of your business card will be displayed in the language that you select.

If you are bulk creating your business cards, you can use the column "language" to specify the language of the business card, enter "xx" for Browser dependent language or leave it empty to use the default language of the account. 

Create different business cards for each language
