The app is available in eleven languages, and your choice is saved to your account rather than to one browser, so notifications follow it too.
Change the language
- On the web at app.maximum.community, look at the bottom of the sidebar for the globe icon showing the current language.
- Tap it and choose from English, Español, 中文, Français, Português, Tiếng Việt, 한국어, العربية, हिन्दी, Русский or עברית.
- The page switches immediately. Arabic and Hebrew also flip the layout to right-to-left.
What the setting affects
- Every screen on the web.
- Emails, texts and push notifications the app sends you — a visitor arrival, a package notice, a violation notice — are rendered in your preferred language. If you have not chosen one, they use your community's default language.
If the language does not change
- “Language not changed” with a reason underneath means your community's policy refused the request. Communities can disallow resident language changes altogether (“Language change is not allowed for this community”) or limit the choice to a set list (“This language is not enabled for your community”). The screen stays in the current language; ask the office if you need another one.
- “Changed on this device only” means the app could not reach the server to save your choice. The screen switches for now, but “We couldn't save your choice, so it will revert next time you sign in.” Try again later.
Good to know
- The setting is per person, not per home. Choosing Spanish on the web applies to your notifications from every community you belong to.
- Announcements and messages written by the office arrive in the language they were written in — the setting translates the app, not other people's text.
- These steps are for the web at app.maximum.community.
