Language & Time Zone
Weblearnia is built for international schools, so language and time handling matter. This guide applies to everyone.
Languages
Weblearnia ships in three fully translated languages:
- English
- Arabic — displayed right-to-left (RTL)
- Swedish
Changing your language
Use the language switcher (a dropdown near the top of the screen) to pick a language. The whole interface, including layout direction for Arabic, updates immediately.
You can also set a preferred language on your profile so it sticks across sessions. If you do not set one, the school's default language is used.
Right-to-left (Arabic)
When you choose Arabic, the entire layout mirrors: navigation moves to the right, text aligns right, and icons flip where appropriate. This is a first-class mode, not an afterthought — every screen is designed to work in both directions.
Time zones
Scheduling across countries is common, so Weblearnia is careful about times.
Times are shown in your time zone
By default, every time you see — lecture start times, due dates, your schedule — is converted to your time zone. So if your school in Stockholm schedules a 10:00 lecture and you are in Toronto, your dashboard shows it at your local Toronto time.
Your time zone is resolved in this order:
- Your profile's preferred time zone, if set.
- Otherwise, the school's time zone.
- Otherwise, UTC.
Set your preferred time zone on your profile page for the most accurate display.
The exception: course scheduling
When administrators edit a course schedule (or view the school-wide schedule grid), times are shown in the course's own time zone — so a "10:00 Stockholm" lecture stays 10:00 while editing. A small "your time" hint is shown alongside so there is no confusion. This only applies to those management screens; everywhere else uses your time zone.
Numbers, dates, and currency
Numbers, dates, and currency amounts are formatted according to your language and region automatically. Tuition amounts are always shown in the school's configured currency.
