How do I change the language of a screenshot?

Add &language=LOCALE (for example, es, fr, zh-CN) to your Add Screenshots request to set the Accept-Language header before the page is captured.

Can I combine language overrides with other Add Screenshots features?

Yes. Language parameters work alongside request templates, schedules, webhooks, and direct delivery to AWS S3, Azure, Google Cloud, or Cloudflare R2.

Does Add Screenshots throttle localized captures?

No. You can run concurrent localized screenshots across 20+ regions without throttling.
