Adding Language Switcher functionality to Experience Builder

As Swiss Federal Railways, we operate throughout Switzerland and have to do justice to the multilingualism in our country. The effort required to provide every app built in the Experience Builder in 3 languages is enormous and costs unnecessary resources.
Extending the Experience Builder to include the "Language Switcher" options that have been introduced in various Instant Apps would be an enormous gain.

Someone else just posted about this: Experience Builder Language Switch for Accessibili... - Esri Community

There may even be earlier posts, I haven't searched. Concentrating the "kudos" on one post will make it so that the apparent need (to Esri) isn't diluted. Ten posts of the same idea, all getting 3 kudos, means less to Esri than one idea getting 30 kudos.

Hello @NicoleJohnson
Have you read the other idea?
In my eyes, it's not the same at all, unless I misunderstand their concerns.
Of course, you could simply generalise the topic further, but I can't see any way of deleting my idea at the moment.

@u216587, yes, I read it, that's why your post reminded me of it... =] I could definitely be interpreting this wrong! If you think this idea is unique, don't delete it, and my apologies if I'm way off.

Edit: I re-read the other post, and you're right, they're only asking to be able to set the language of the app, so they'd need to have as many apps as languages they want to support. Sorry about that!
