Choose a language
- On the homepage, use the globe menu in the header. Inside Workspace, use the flagged language buttons in the footer, or open Account / Preferences. DFT Lab and Figure Lab keep the canvas free of a footer; use their avatar menu to open Preferences.
- Choose English or Bahasa Indonesia to override automatic detection.
- Open another page. The preference is retained on this browser and remains available after a reload.
How automatic selection works
A saved explicit choice takes priority. In automatic mode, Phynite reads supported languages in the order requested by your browser or device. Indonesian selects Bahasa Indonesia; English selects English.
On the initial server response, the browser language header is used. If no supported language is present, an available country hint from the hosting edge can select Indonesian for Indonesia; otherwise English is used.
Phynite does not request GPS access or call a separate IP-location service for language selection. When the detected country suggests another supported language, a small prompt offers to switch. Dismissing it is remembered for that country. Travel does not override an explicit language choice. Preferences are per browser, so another device can use a different language.
Scientific text and data
Product names such as DFT Lab and Figure Lab, solver keywords, chemical symbols, and shortcut keys remain recognizable across languages. Scientific code, numerical source files, and publication text are not translated automatically.
Dates and usage durations follow the selected interface language where shown. A decimal value in executed QE input retains solver syntax.
English documentation uses /guide/topic and Indonesian documentation uses /id/guide/topic. Changing language keeps you on the same subject. Download the selected language for an offline reference.
Keyboard and readable layouts
- Use Tab to move through links, buttons, and fields; a visible focus ring identifies the active control.
- Use Enter or Space to activate a focused control, and Escape to dismiss menus or the project dialog.
- In documentation, Primary+K or / focuses search when you are outside editable controls.
- Use the mobile contents control to browse topics without covering the article permanently.
- Reduced-motion device preferences are respected by studio transitions and the landing animation.
