Change the default language of my map

With the CartoVista Server, you can set the default language for your map.

     The published map will use the server language and not the one selected in the CartoVista publisher.

     For the map to be in French by default (for example), the server language must be French by default as well.

Also, to make sure the map is in the right language when you send it to someone, you can just check if the language abbreviation is present instead of the letters "en" (in bold) in the URL.
