Language, guide, and command palette

Sentinel ships in Spanish and English with its own product guide and a command palette to open any view in seconds. Get the most out of it from day one.

Operational summary

This guide is available in Spanish and English—use /es/guide or /en/guide, or switch locale from the landing experience.

From the fleet hub you can open the guide, chat, and other views from the side rail, hamburger menu, or command palette (quick search for actions).

Deep dive

Sentinel runs natively in Spanish and English. The product guide, the mobile app, the UI text, notifications, and marketing copy all exist in both languages. Switch with the visible selector or change the URL: /es/guide and /en/guide. The preference is stored in cookie and session, so you don't have to choose every time.

If your team is bilingual, define the operational language in the SOP. Mixing languages within the same organization works technically but adds friction when several operators read the same alert. A common practice is English for audit messages and the local language for tactical coordination.

Inside the fleet hub, the command palette is the fastest way to move around: open it with Ctrl/Cmd+K (or the search icon) and start typing the view you want—missions, geofences, chat, settings, team, export CSV. Each item has assigned shortcuts and opens the corresponding panel without reloading. If you're new, walking through the palette is the quickest way to discover what's available.

The full guide you're reading is the operational source: it covers hardware, map, geofences, mobile app, alerts, and use cases. It's a thorough technical manual. The blog (where you are now) takes each section and extends it with context, FAQs, and related links—useful for both internal teams and public SEO. Both views share the same data, so improvements show up in both.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I switch languages?
From the top menu of the public site or the language button in the fleet hub. The preference is persisted in cookies and applied to backend notifications too.
What does the command palette do?
It lets you open any hub view (missions, geofences, team, settings, chat) by typing its name. Open with Ctrl+K or Cmd+K on Mac.
Is the mobile app bilingual too?
Yes. The app respects the phone's system language and lets you toggle manually. Mobile notifications and copy are translated alongside the dashboard.
Is there a shortcut to open the guide?
Yes: in the fleet hub, the guide opens from the side menu or by typing 'guide' in the command palette. Direct URL is /es/guide or /en/guide.
