Notification language
Push notifications arrive in each user's own language.
Overview
Each user picks a language in the FLASH app or the Weather Command Center (Settings, Language). That choice sets the language of the app and of every push notification sent to that user, on every device they are signed in on. Two people in the same organization can get the same alert in different languages.

What is translated
- Lightning alerts: detected, warning, advisory, caution, imminent, continues, all clear and the policy timer.
- Hail alerts.
- Hazard alerts: heat (WBGT), wind, flooding rain, snow, ice, fire weather, smoke and air quality, thunderstorms, fog and cold, plus combined alerts.
- Severe weather risk alerts and National Weather Service warnings.
- The daily forecast digest (including the UV line), the weather heads-up and organization rule alerts. A rule's own name stays as the organization typed it.

These are sent in English for now:

Any message without a translation is sent in English, never partly translated.
