In short
A Panoramr tour can be shown in English and five more languages: Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Arabic. You add a language on the tour’s Settings tab and type the translation of each room name, note and description. Visitors choose a language with the globe button in the player, or you link straight to one by adding ?lang= to the address. You can translate on any plan; visitors see the translations when the tour’s owner is on a paid plan or the tour is hosted.

How a tour speaks more than one language
How visitors switch
The globe button lists the tour’s languages. A tour opens in English until a visitor picks another: the player does not guess from the visitor’s browser. To send someone straight to a language, add ?lang= and the language’s code to the tour’s address or embed code.
What stays in English
The player’s own button names, the labels of the top menu bar and other text typed on the Design tab are not translated. The pictures, sound, video and web addresses of an information hotspot, and a product’s price, are the same in every language.
A text version of the tour
Switch on the Accessibility Line and visitors can open a plain text version of the tour: each room’s name, description, links and notes. Keyboard users can move between hotspots with the Tab key, and a device set to reduce motion gets instant cuts between rooms.

Questions
Which languages can visitors choose?
Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Arabic, as well as English.
Does Panoramr translate the tour for me?
No. You type each translation, so the words are your own.
Is it free?
Any plan can add languages and type the translations, and see them in the editor and the preview. Visitors get them when the tour’s owner is on a paid plan or the tour is hosted; until then they see English.
Can I link straight to one language?
Yes. Add ?lang= and the language’s code to the tour’s address or to the embed code, such as ?lang=de for German.
Is the tour accessible?
The Accessibility Line gives visitors a plain text version of the tour, keyboard users can Tab to hotspots, and reduced motion is respected. We have not tested the player with a screen reader, so we do not claim that a tour meets an accessibility standard.
Where several languages help most
- Attractions & TourismGive visitors a taste of the place before they travel: attractions, destinations and days out.
- Schools, Colleges & UniversitiesAn open day that never closes: classrooms, halls, sports and accommodation for families and students.
- Museums, Galleries & HeritageKeep every exhibition online after it closes, with a spoken guide and notes on the works.
