Ride Cave Now Speaks Seven Languages

Ride Cave now speaks seven languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch. Not just the menus. Every screen of the app, the race radio, the words in the 3D world, and every page of our website.

Ride Cave has riders all over the world, and plenty of them have been training in their second language. That should never be the price of a good workout. So we went through the whole app, screen by screen, and made sure every word on it can be shown in your own language.

How to switch

In the app, open Settings, then Preferences, and pick your language under Language. Each language is listed in its own words, so you can always find yours. The app changes straight away, and the choice is saved with your account, so it follows you when you sign in on another device.

If you are new, you may not need to do anything. Ride Cave starts in your device's language when it speaks it, from signing up to your first ride. Our Portuguese is Brazilian Portuguese, and riders whose device is set to Portuguese from Portugal get the same translation.

What is translated

Everything you see in the app: Home, workouts, eRoutes, tracks, the player and its data panels, your ride summary, Settings and Cave Crew, in the browser, the desktop app and the phone apps. The race radio calls the race in your language, and so do the words in the 3D world, on eRoutes and in the velodrome.

The website is translated too. Every page has its own address in each language, like ridecave.com/es/features, and the globe in the header switches any page to another language. If your browser prefers one of our languages, an English page offers you the translated one. Open the app after reading the site in German and the app starts in German, until you choose otherwise in Settings. Our Terms, Privacy Policy and Consumer Health Data notice are translated as well, with the English version governing except where local law says otherwise.

What is still in English

A few things are not translated yet. This blog is in English, and so is our help site at support.ridecave.com. Emails and push notifications are in English, as are the spoken voice cues and the names of workouts and eRoutes. Numbers and dates in the app are still written the English way, so a distance reads 1,234.5 rather than 1.234,5. We are working through all of it.

Help us get it right

The translations are new. Every one was written with the screen it appears on in mind, but nobody knows how a word should read better than the riders who read it every day. If something reads wrong in your language, tell us on Discord or through the Contact page, and we will fix it.

Getting started

Everything about it is on our new Languages page. Open Ride Cave, go to Settings, then Preferences, and ride in your language. It is free for every rider, on every platform.
