The app has been available in English since November 2021, followed by Portuguese at the beginning of December.

Switching languages is done via a language selection button in the app's settings, and immediately all editorial text articles currently available in the app are transferred to the desired language by an automated translation service. Videos, advertising and surveys are not translated.
"With our Multilanguage App, we have a proven technology and already thousands of users every day," explains Marco Di Bernardo, Chief Technology & Product Officer 20 minutes. "With the introduction of Ukrainian, we offer the daily increasing number of refugees in Switzerland orientation and information in their national language. At the same time, we are also introducing Russian so that we can also offer the many Russians living in Switzerland a comprehensive news and entertainment service on the issues that affect Switzerland."
