Which languages does Sealique support, and can I sign documents in Kinyarwanda or Kiswahili?
Sealique runs entirely in English, French, German, Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili: every page, e-mail, signing link and QR code attendance form follows the language you choose, from any phone.
A contract between a cooperative in Musanze and a buyer in Nairobi, a training register in Goma, a board resolution in Berlin: the people around one document rarely share a language. Sealique was built in Kigali for exactly that, so every screen a signer, a participant or a verifier sees exists in five languages, and nobody has to guess what they are agreeing to.

Key facts
- Five languages: English, French, German, Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili; English is served at the plain address and the others under /fr/, /de/, /rw/ and /sw/.
- The language switcher sits on every page, including the signing page, the verification page and the attendance form, and the choice is remembered on the account.
- E-mails (invitations, reminders, confirmations, one-time codes) are sent in the recipient's language.
- Dates and month names are written in Kinyarwanda and Kiswahili, not only the labels around them.
- Signers and participants need no account, so a guest in Kigali, Nairobi, Paris or Berlin reads the page in the language of their browser or their choice.
Why five languages?
Rwanda works in Kinyarwanda, English, French and Kiswahili, and its neighbours in Kiswahili and English. Partners and funders in Europe often read French or German. One document frequently crosses all of these, so the signing page, the consent statements and the verification result must read naturally for each person, not only for the sender.
What exactly is translated?
The whole interface: the signing and verification pages, the attendance check-in form, the event pages, the data tables, the dashboards, the PDF tools and every message and error. The public pages too: the home page, every guide and the FAQ exist at their own address per language, for example /rw/guides/sign-pdf, and search engines are told which page is which through hreflang links. E-mails use the recipient's language, and the installable app follows the same choice.
What is not translated is the document itself: a PDF is sealed exactly as it was written, and the signature block keeps the signer's name as typed.
How do I switch?
Use the language pill on any page; the choice is stored in your browser and, when you are signed in, on your account, so e-mails and the app follow it. Links can also carry the language: the /fr/, /de/, /rw/ and /sw/ addresses open directly in that language.
